Need Manuals for a Sony/Tektronix 314 Storage Oscilloscope

edited 2002-09-04 01:11 in General Discussion
I have obtained a 314 Storage Oscilloscope, in excellent condition, and the
only thing missing as usual, are the manuals. I have contacted Tektronix and
they informed me that the manuals are no longer available and have not been
for about a year. They tell me that the stock has been depleted and of
course, no new manuals have been printed.

Does anyone out there happen to have a set that I could purchase from them?
Please let me know either by return E-mail or at the phone number or address
below.

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can offer.

    Might try eBay -- lots of older test gear and manuals available.

    A Google search lists
    http://www.ee.washington.edu/stores/manuals/tds320.pdf which is a
    manual for the 310, 320 & 350 'scopes - maybe this will help?

    Regards

    Randy,

    Used instruments are a worldwide well-grown market: here in Italy there are
    5-6 suppliers of used instruments, that gain money also also by selling good
    copies of Tektronix instruments manuals, as well as HP and so on. I know one
    of them - I bought the service manual of my Tek 466 analog storage
    oscilloscope, bought from a private. But I think that is not necessary to
    look for so far :-)

    Anyway, I suggest you to try the following website:
    http://www.reprise.com/host/tektronix/home/default.asp
    you will find, inside the "Resources" section, the link to various sources
    of Tek manuals.

    Good luck!

    Alberto

    Thanks to all that responded to my request, I got some VERY good information
    from several of the members and am exploring those. Thanks to you it looks
    like I will be getting the manuals soon.
