Sometimes you have to accept defeat. I just spent hours putting the vertical board back into the 465 and the result is the scope is in worse shape than when I started. Channel 1 trace but no response to any input. Channel 2 no trace at all. I checked and double checked all connections and they're OK. I'm in no mood at this point to try to toubleshoot this mess. But I'm not scrapping it, although tempted. I'm putting it away and I'll come back to it another day. It's rare that I can't fix a piece of equipment but this 465 is kicking my butt. So to avoid doing something stupid it will be put away...for now.

Sounds like a wise choice.  Best to walk away for a time and eventually return with renewed patience and a fresh outlook.  It reduces the potentially strong temptation to break out the Widlarizer to make gross adjustments to recalcitrant gear that often arises in situations like this.

Indeed, we all have days like that. Leave it "on the healing bench" for a bit and come back to it when you're completely fresh to it, a couple of weeks or so, and who knows, you might meantime have the solution to whatever you did wrong filter up from your deep mind (or in my case, from the pit of depravity).

hate to say this.......and you will probably curse my eyes for suggesting it......BUT.....maybe you should consider getting a second 465 for module swapping and signal cross checking. 

two of everything is almost a TEA minimum.

ok,  now you can hunt me down and kill me like a dog.

No I won't.....because I had the same thought! A true TEA addict.  :-DD

The 465 is securely tucked away in the bottom of the scope cart waiting for the day when I pull it out and we do battle again.  :box: ;D
