Don,
I did a little looking, and there is some emails concerning that scope of
the Yahoo Tekscope group.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TekScopes/
Maybe the folks there can assist you.
FWIW, I recently was given two dead 2215 Tek scopes. I got both working about
90% by simply changing out the power supply electrolytics, or well most of
them. It seems that age has taken it's toll on these parts, and many of them
were 'weightless', and had only a few mfd capacity when the rating was much
higher. Seems like the capacitor juice done evaporated! It was amazing in that
every time I changed another capacitor, some other weird problem went away. I
never had to to crack open the schematics.
Regards,
Jim

Subject: [AMRadio] Anyone Using Tek 5403/5440/5441 or Similar?
At the North Hills hamfest on July 9, I picked up a Tek 5403 'scope (also known
as 5440 or 5441) with 3 plug-ins in excellent looking but non-working
condition. It lights up but gets no trace at all. Rooting around on the web,
this looks like a 40-60mhz precursor to the 7000 series. It also looks like it
doesn't have much value.
Is anyone using this 'scope? Any thoughts about whether it's worth trying to
get it operational or not? Advice appreciated.
