Bad news here;TEK did not make service manuals with real schematics and

Tek have gone right down the pan.

I suspect MBAs at work :-(


Absolutely correct.

TEK sold off their ICO/hybrid manufacturing unit;had to drop an entire
product line as a direct result.
TEK laid off or reassigned much of their Service Support staff.
Manuals without the TEK schematics,parts lists,and the invaluable Circuit
Description section are MUCH cheaper to make.
And they don't have to distribute service data to service centers
anymore,as they closed those.Only the DC field office is left.

Beancounters :-(
