Just curious. What was the price of the Tek Scope and what model?
Might have a bearing, but in my time as a broadcast engineer from '62 to
'02, I came to realize Hitachi scopes at about a kilobuck less brand
new, were a far better buy. I personally own 3 scopes ATM, the oldest
being a Hitachi v1075, 100MHz dual trace partially computerized. After
40 years its tube isn't as bright but its still in good calibration.
You cannot say that about a tek scope less than 5 years old, the custom
input attenuators drift that fast and if you ask tek for parts be
prepared to write a 4 digit check if they even have them. Replacement
display crt's to replace defective new ones cannot be obtained at any
price There was a tine when a 545 was still good at 30 years old, but
with their connection to the Grass Valley Group in the early '80's, its
all downhill, warranties went from lifetime to 90 days for transformers
and crt tubes rather quickly. And tubes just weren't available for a
2235 with so much coma it was worthless as a service bench tool.
I needed a VNA to service AM radio towers. I wound up buying a siglent,
does smith charts in real time that worked so well I bought their top of
the line 4 trace, 350 MHz sampler so I now have around $7k in Siglent
stuff. if they ever make a Time Domain Reflectometer I'll own one of
those too. In the meantime I just make them. Accurate enough I can tell
a tower crew where to take things apart to start the burnup cleanup.

Customs can be illogical. Many years ago I ordered a Tek scope off eBay and it
came from Canada. Obviously made in US but it cost me $30 to break it loose.
