    I liked the Tek 485 better.

    I'd avoid the B for two reasons:
    1. Crappy quality SMD caps on A5 board. They tend to leak and damage traces and other nearby component. SMD makes them more difficult to replace.
    2. The Dallas NVRAM is usually living on borrowed time. Once it's 30+ year old battery dies, all the calibration data goes "poof". Replacing of the NVRAM and recalibration will likely be required.

    I'd opt for the 2465.

    Beautiful baby, reminds me of my childhood and how I become interested in electronics.

    Love it! Good looking

    I'm guessing the young guy knew ohms law before he rode his first bike. Mum I don't have time to fix the TV right now I'm watching peppa pig.

    Came for the scopes stayed for the cute baby boy

    Super worthwhile to fix these. Just finished my 2467B that I was unexpectedly gifted and it's awesome. Getting to that power supply isn't exactly a picnic, but can be done. Dig it out slow and methodically. All the little comb headers have to be gently pulled up and out; do not bend those. The plastic on mine were all super brittle and it's easy to snap the little latch. Also there's an error in the layout designation sheet in the service manual for the caps so I just replaced mine one at a time; one of them is transposed with its neighbor. Did all that though and bam back up and running. I lucked out on the SRAM and read mine before data was lost and replaced it with a new Dallas and just dumped the old data back in. Seems fine to me for what it is. Maybe someday I'll get FRAM and no more battery. Anyway, great vid. Love the offspring. Smart kid. I was shy just like him too at that age. Still am.

    2467B is the best ever 🙂

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars zeljko adzic says:

    Hi Sir I get 2465B from my dear friend ho died from cancer few month before… i have problem with oscilloscope and for legacy and memory i wont repair.. can you help me to fine manual and anther stuff… best regards..

    I have a 2465 here rescued from a dumpster at NXP back in 2017, with calibration stickers as recent as 2016, accompanied by a single Phillips 300MHz probe. Still works great. I'm getting a proper DSO soon but I'll keep it around.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Nava says:

    hi, you can helme to repair my tektroncix 2465b? i have some issue in the control board. this board has some corrosion produce by caps.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mohamed Khalifa says:

    ❤️❤️❤️😍😍 very nice baby

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars less time says:

    you kit is very very lucky because hi have a father and love , i love to see a family like that

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nalla Sivam says:

    lovely!!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rosetta says:

    your kid is so lucky to have all these scopes and other electronics to play with, and a great dad can teach all these knowledge

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DinAlter says:

    Hi Dave, one question wasn't the Tek 2467B the best analog oscilloscope that Tektronix ever made? BTW nice video like the others one on your channel.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Sage says:

    Pick one, *replace all the leaky capacitors*, give it a burl. Probably better than whatever DSO you're using as your main scope.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars someone outthere says:

    What no repair video????????

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Gx says:

    Dad, your the Greatest.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jeanious2009 says:

    Those are the original caps on the earlier scope…you can see the 1990's code on them.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ranjit says:

    Has anyone ever heard of a 5111A, I bought one to sell any ider what there worth? From western Canada, cheers.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ranjit says:

    Yet shipping costs don't make sense cause if I order anything off fleabay from china that size it's nothing they just think well off countries have more money, scam I say.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bhavani Shankar says:

    you know what that is a scope 🙂 , nice little kid
