FS: Tek TDS3000 front cover

[james_s]

I have a protective cover for a Tektronix TDS3000 series scope, I believe it may fit the TDS5000 series as well. I don't have a scope that it fits so I'm offering it here. It's in very good condition, just a couple of very light scuffs. I'm willing to ship it worldwide if you pay but overseas shipping is likely to be prohibitively expensive in some cases.

$15 + shipping sound fair?

Offers?

I'm surprised nobody wants this, are the TDS3000 scopes uncommon or did they all come with the cover?

They all come with the cover.

I don't know how you'd gauge "common", but Tek is still selling the TDS3000 series after 17+ years.  There's got to be quite a few of them out there.

Interestingly, the Tek product page says they're not updating the design to accommodate EU ROHS mandates, and once EU stocks are depleted that's it.  Nothing about US and other markets, but it could be a sign the end is near.

That could explain it, covers for the Tek scopes I have seem to be a lot less common and I had to pay quite a bit more to get them.

Ok well anyone want this for free? Just pay postage or come pick it up, I don't have a scope it fits and would rather it went to someone who could use it.

I would love this cover.  I have recently acquired a TDS3054 that I managed to repair.  It can be shipped to a friend in CA who will be coming to the UK in the summer.
I will email you
many thanks

Hi James,
Is this front cover still available ?

Bravo and others, in case you're looking for a TDS5000/B cover: the original post is mistaken, the TDS3000 is a smaller form factor scope and its cover is not compatible. For TDS5000, look for p/n 200-4651-00 aka 200465100. The same cover is also used with TLA5200 series logic analyzers.
