Wow, this is a long-lived thread.

I was just given two 1741A 'scopes for free. I have no idea what is wrong with them, other than that they do not work. I'll be posting pictures and progress.

If you don't have one and need to open it the 1741, strongly consider getting the service manual from http://artekmanuals.com/manuals/hp-manuals/

Thanks!

I did find a free source for a PDF of the service manual.

Keeping this thread alive...I'm working on a 1743A and am having problems with TIME/DIV controls.  The main control won't rotate more than a couple of positions CW or CCW - sounds like it might be a bent contact in the rotary switch or perhaps some hardened grease.  Also the delay TIME/DIV knob cracked off, but at least the shaft rotates easily by hand.  And those grub screws in the knobs are a pain - wish they would have milled some flat surfaces into the shaft so the set screws could mate flush.  Seems like this is a weak point on these scopes.  Will be having a closer look inside...

My main question is: is there a version of the 1743A manual that has as much detailed repair information as the 1740A one?  The 1743A manual on the Agilent site:

http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/01743-90905.pdf

has a BoM and exploded diagrams but not a schematic, repair procedures, etc.

Also, are there any recommendations on who sells various parts (like the aforementioned cracked delay TIME/DIV knob) for the 174x series?

Sphere (Canada), QService (Greece, US), ebay.

It is useful to have exact part numbers, which you can find in the service manual.
