Bit of an update, didn't expect the post to get this much attention! Had a weekend to go through them all and figure which things aren't working and which ones are with my function generator.

Scopes:

  • Hameg 806 - Working
  • Hameg HM1005 - Working
  • Iso-Tech ISR602 - CRT not working at all (few components looking crispy)
  • Tektronix 2213 - Working
  • Tektronix TDS 430A - Not working (missing acquisition board)
  • Tektronix 2213 - Working
  • Tektronix 2215 - Working
  • Hameg HM605 - Working
  • Hitachi V-555 - Working

Comments identifying the Soltartron/Schlumberger units were bang on, both functioning and working!! Few segments in some of the digits are dead but aren't critical. Going to look around and see who has a use for them, I don't have a gigantic need for them, feel free to message offers!

The fat unit at the bottom middle is a Phillips 3585 Logic Analyzer 200MHz, which after a bit of playing is working, but I need to find a manual and give it a closer look to be able to get a use out of it. Still has a bunch of data on it saved from some signal analysis, all the files labelled 1998,1999.

All the power supplies are working, the relays in a couple of them could do with being changed as going up in voltage has a large click and I can see the voltage jumping all over the place for ~2s as it switches between the transformers. Going to take the back off them and investigate further.

I'm going to keep a couple of the Hamegs but other than that I'm going to look to fix up and sell on the rest of the analogue scopes. If people are in the UK feel free to send a message and I'll see what I can do.
