Looking for documentation for a Beckman 9012 Oscilloscope.

[michalism]

Hello!
I have bought an old Beckman Industrial 9012 scope from ebay. I should receive it today...really anxious about it!! This should be by first operational analog osciloscope!

I tried to find the operation and/or service manuals for it, but I had no luck.
Does anybody here has any idea where to look for?

I've seen some threads that suggest that the Beckman is really a scope made by others (like Hung Chang), but I was not able to find a reference for the particular model I am interested in.
Any suggestions?

thank you very much in advance!!!

Hi.
it seems this scope is identical to wavetek 9012....any docs for that model?
thanks

First quick look didn't turn up anything, even BAMA is bare. When buying an old analog scope it is always good to check for availability of at least service manual before buying, unless it's free. A good reason to pay a bit more for a Tektronix, as many of the manuals are easily available. These 25 year old scopes are on the verge of needing work, if not already, and that can be very difficult without a decent service manual.

Also look for similar Hung Chang, Protec, Votcraft models. Not always an easy task as there are usually many revisions using the same model number in each rebrand...
Don't neglect the not specifically labelled "service" manuals if looking for schematic. I have a French copy (downloaded I believe) of the Beckman 9020 user manual that includes schematics.

thanks for the replies.
I'll keep looking hoping to find some kind of reference....
at this point the scope seems to work fine, and does not need any work. let's see...

Hi,

after a year ...

How does the scope works ?
Did you get the manuals, schematics ?
I can buy one for less than 100€, is it a good deal ?

Thanks.
