Anyone know if the processor and acquisition boards are the only difference between A and D? --- End quote --- The LV power supplies and HV assemblies are interchangeable. The processor on the D scopes is noticeably faster, and is very noticeable when switching back and forth from DPO/Instavue Jay |

So switching the processor and acquisition boards might net me a 784D then. Hmm. May need to start watching eBay. |

I may have to replace my upgraded TDS744A CRT with an LCD soon because the shutter module appears to be de-laminating. For anyone that's been down this road before, does the LCD replacement have comparable resolution and ease of viewing? Thanks, Tom. |

Thanks, Tom. --- End quote --- I suppose it depends on how good an LCD display you get. I converted one of my TDS5xx or TDS7xx to LCD because the CRT was no good. I was never really happy with it. I used to use it as a portable scope, because it made the scope lighter. I prefer the liquid crystal shutter / monochrome display 'NuColor'. The challenge is you need to find a VGA 640 x 480 LCD the right size. Most of the VGA resolution screens are not that great. Regards, Jay_Diddy_B |

For those interested the original brochure for the 700D scopes ;) https://www.testequity.com/documents/pdf/tds700d.pdf Quite impressive for the time and still is ;) |
