Tek 422 scope "whine"
I have a Tektronixs 422 scope that I've had for years. I'm getting ready to
put it up on eBay - but is has a "whine" when it's on. The traces are fine, everything works - but I want to be honest and not have any buyer trouble. Is this normal in an older scope? What is it, can it be fixed? It's a really nice older "vintage" scope - just never use it and need to find a good home for it. please email me at since my newsreader service never seems to keep any old messeges. (remove the *nospam*) |

It's a really nice older "vintage" scope - just never use it and need to find a good home for it. Cause forthe whine may be : 1. old caps (dried out electrolytics which lost part of their capacity. 2. Loose or broken ferrite core on the inverter transfomer. 3. An overload on one voltage -- but very unlikely in your case bec. you mention: "all other behaviour as normal, trace okay, etc." please email me at since my newsreader service never seems to keep any old messeges. No email -- you have to look on the NG-- the reason for a newsgroup that many people can read the answer and participate from them. With email, that's not possible. hth, Andreas |
