Saved myself from a TEA session today by simply setting a limit on what I was prepared to shell out for a Tek 465 that wouldn't light up. :phew:

They're not that common here and only occasionally come up for sale.
Looked pretty straight and tidy so hopefully the buyer knows what their doing and gets it up and running again.
bd139:
That’s not a bad price (£45 UK). Almost certainly a shorted tant and blown fuse. Probably ten minutes fix.
Add some turd polish and you’ve got a £100 profit at least here in the U.K.
Brumby:
If it was this side of the ditch and somewhere within driving distance, I might have gone to $100. There is some front panel illumination, but no trace.
After checking the settings, if that didn't bear fruit, I'd be hoping for an easy HT/EHT fix ... something obvious and inexpensive.
med6753:
About $60 USD. Fair price. I agree with bd139 on the fix. I really doubt the CRT is dead as the seller indicated.

That's what I figured it'd be something simple as I'd asked the owner if he'd been inside it and he hadn't.
Hadn't decided whether to flick it or keep it if I'd won it but most likely keep it as some icon to a past age.
I always liked the probe cal fixture on these as you used them for sanity checks for current probes too, something I reckon is sadly missing on modern scopes. The Telequipment models had a current spec for probe cal to gnd for the same purpose.
Was never to bothered about making a buck from it.
