What luck finding this video that I had not seen when you posted it. I have been looking for a bargain in a Tek analog scope to compliment my digital scope, and today, won one on eBay at a pretty good price. And as it turns out, it is a model 2445A. I'm not sure how close it is to the 2245A. It is being sold as working properly, so I'm hoping. But if I have problems, at least I know an expert whose brain I can pick. Great video. Looking forward to Part 2.

I have the 2246 which appears to have more menus and measurements. Otherwise almost identical. Never worked on it so its good to see inside. Go deep!

Gday Ray, keen for part two of this one. I have a 2245A myself that undertook similar repairs when I received it. Cheers!

Yeah, that thing has scarred me for life! I do intend to get back to it, but there is significant heat damage on part of the board, and many of the boards in this scope are multilayer, and I fear that there may be multiple issues there. But one day I'll man up and get back to it. Signed, the other RG 😁

good stuff. thanks!

I just got a 2247A from eBay for pretty darn cheap, Identical power supply to this 2245A. Everything on it works really well and whoever owned it took really good care of it but I cannot see any parts that have been swapped out, everything looks original so I'm definitely going to change out the caps. I have most of them, but I don't think I have the 270uF 450v though. Most of the parts are dated to 1990 so I'd say it's time. Also the two 1500pF Rifa caps are gone.

Looking at that looks almost identical to a 2246, the voltages for sure are and the whole calibration setup.

Very nice.

Thanks John!

Is there part 2 ? I also have an oscilloscope which shows readings on the wrong areas of the screen. It's panasonic and doesn't have schematics. It's also missing a beam.

Cheers !

I own a working 2246A, the one problem is thet I don't see the 130VAC at the test point. It's a good scope, I hope you fixed that problem eventually.

Francesco, we're way past eventually already. 😁 But if I can find a power supply board for a decent price I'll do that. The board in it is heat damaged, and these are fragile multilayer boards, so that may be what's at play here.

Hello Ray,Needing some help with a (2246)...looking at the screen it won't stop (sweeping) or (flashing) in my eyes. This is my first scope bought it from a friend here in Florida. It seems to be working I'm still trying to understand the manual 🙃. Please help!!!

Hello, good morning sir, I have this same equipment and I ask you: is it normal for the redout info to flash with a more or less slow horizontal sweep? From already thank you very much.

Hi Alfredo! My main scope is a 2445A, and the readout doesn't flicker with sweep speed. The 2245A is still waiting for me to get back to it. At this point I'm looking for a power supply board, as the one in it has one area where it's gotten very hot, and I'd just like to find a suitable replacement.

Could not find the channel you spoke about, has he changed his name or deleted his channel?
