Except a 7000 series with a 7A22 differential amp plugin at 10µV/div ;D

Yeah,the 7000 series are nice old beasts--you can get such a range of plugins.
I'm looking for a 7L12 or similar Spectrum Analyser plugin.
Rotten thing is,I saw several on eBay Aust before I got the 7613,but nary a one,since! ;D

My much older 1A7 plug-in for 500 series scopes does 10uV/division with DC coupling. Parallel push-pull nuvistor input stage. DC drifts like fark though.

By the way, does anyone know a good online reference with release dates, manufacturing history, specs and possibly some words about the major Tektronix models? (Like the differences between a 2336 and a 2337, etc.)

There's also a plugin for the Tek 5000 series and even a stand-alone TM-500 version (AM502) of this plugin. Probably all based on a very similar design (I know for a fact that the 7000/5000/TM500 were very similar). So while 500 uV/div is decent for a portable scope, it's definitely been matched and exceeded by lab scopes.

The 24xx list didn't mention the 2432/2432a DSO. which is inbetween the 2430 and 2440 in performance It's not a bad scope.
The 468 had a GPIB option. The DSO section is only good to 10MHz though.
On the 2465, U800 is the primary problem. There is a design with smd parts that's available that more or less is a drop in replacement. I don't know first hand anyone who's tried it though. Some people have had some success running it through a baking process. It comes up a lot on the Tekscopes list.
