(claimed)[US][FREE] Tektronix T201 portable LCD scope

[rhodges]

Free to good home in the US. I have had this LCD scope for ages, but never used it much. I did a basic test a few months ago. At first, it did not want to start, but then "it got better". One of the control sliders is loose from use, the other feels better. The manual has stains, probably from coffee. The plastic cover turns into a stand.

I thought about selling it on ebay, but I don't want to deal with a rat bastard claiming it doesn't work or "not as described".

It would be nice if the recipient made a donation to Dave and the forum, but that's not required.

That's a gorgeous piece of hardware, not the first time I wished I lived across the pond for test equipment!

I would be interested in this if you havent already given it away.

Yeah, some things do go fast.

That T201 is interesting. I haven't seen one before. The one I have seen is the T202, which has a different layout. There's a thread here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/vintage-handheld-scope-createc-sc04/

Additional info at https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/tektronix_handheld_5mhz_lcd_oscilloscope_t202.html and http://w140.com/tekwiki/wiki/T202 but not a lot.

The looks crazy cool. I know someone who would have been all over it who makes youtube video's and seems rather passionate regarding Tektronix. I don't think Mr Carlson has one of those(but I will ask him, never know what else he has tucked away).

there isnt much info I could dig up either, apparently the 201 has a calculator interface, the 202 scope interface. and apparently the manual is an important item to have from what I am able to read up, the manual explains how to do stuff with it, although poorly..

the manual or service manual doesnt seem to be online that I can find either.
