Hello people!
I just scored THREE Tek scopes 2225 for cheap that I want to fully restore, hopefully you might want to help me a little along the way... I´m just a newbie regarding scope stuff.
Anyway... for easier understanding I´m gonna call´em Charlie, Mr. Dean and Ben.
I reckon I might sacrifice good ole Ben as a parts donor if necessary (sorry Ben).
I just finished the cosmetic restoration and everyone is looking really tight, specially Mr. Dean, he´s got class.
Alright, I´m obviously going to read the service manual that I already got but If you have any suggestion regarding the failures they are showing please let me know. Let´s get started.
Charlie... Charlie, also known as "one eyed scope", he has only one channel working... channel B . Channel A is as dead as a channel A can be.
Ben.... Ben is mostly alright but he lost his glasses who knows when... maybe in a fight. He doesn´t focus. This guy doesn´t care about nuthin´ he´s the careless-lest Mofo of the whole world. Ben has his face, knobs and shafts all broken, twisted and scratched up... He works perfectly though it seems, besides the focus that is non existent. Instead of a dot there is a blob, like a squear-ish big spot.
I already looked it up and it has the wires that go from the board to the focus adjustment pot unsoldered. So, Hopefully that`s all that needs to be fixed. But as I said I might use it as a parts donor for Mr. Dean cuz Mr. Dean is the classiest looking scope of all three.
Mr. Dean... Poor Mr. Dean.... he is F**ked up, though he´s handsome and classy, he doesn´t have a scratch. But yea... he´s probably already dead. He doesn´t even power up.
Aaight... that´s how thing are lookin so far.
Let me know if you have any ideas.
Guy.
