Yep, it sure has. My 2465's are marginally better at servicing compared to this puppy. It's like they stuffed 5 pounds of shit in a 3 pound bag. But that's the price you pay for a portable scope I guess. But I did notice that the bench OS-245 (civilian 7603N) looks like a real PITA if I ever have to get access to it's linear power supply. Nothing like the old 500 series where everything was accessible.

7603 is nice. Undo some screws on the side and it just slides out apparently. Never done it myself however
Got to be better than that D83.
Tek didn’t put a lot of thought into fixing it once it was built.
I would have thought that since my latest Ebay order originated in New Hampshire that it would go directly to a UPS depot in New York. But no.....it's bouncing all over New England. First to another depot in NH, then to Masshole, and now it just departed a depot in Rhode Island. I figured even with the holiday on Wednesday that I'd get it no later than Friday. Now I'm not so sure and who the hell knows where it will go next.
I've always that designers should be made to work on these things so they can see the implications of their designs on others who have to keep them working. We,d see some changes then that's for sure.

If it was later in the year you could put it down to it wanting to do what much of New York does, take a tour to see the fall leaves. Rhode Island? If it goes via Quahog it's probably screwed - Giggity.

I don't have to "take a tour" to see the fall leaves. All I have to do is look out my window. Got plenty of leaves. Along with apple orchards. So every Fall the city folk invade us "leaf peeping" and picking apples. Clog up the roads and in general be a PITA. I realize it's important to our local economy but I sure am glad when Oct 31 arrives and the orchards close and the city horde goes home.
More POWER!!! Waugh! Waugh! Waugh!!!
You can have a load of fun with a photodiode, opamp and a DS1054Z. I built a simple photodiode amp with a LM358 and BPV11. Record the power button waveform and load it into the DDS (DG1022Z) then play it back through a 2n7000 and IR LED pointed at the TV slyly with a simple trigger set up wired to a push button with a pull up.
Kids playing up, first warning, second warning clicked fingers and TV goes off.
They nearly fell off the couch in surprise, especially the one holding the remote control.
iPhone camera is no good for this as it has an IR filter on it.
