Hi,

just as i sucessfully fixed one instrument (HP1980B is fixed now, works
perfectly again) i have trouble with another one...

So, i have a Tektronix TAS250 analog scope (50Mhz, last series of
analogs Tek made, U/dic and T/div controlled by rotary encoders, also
has cursor and readout) and both Tek P6106 and P6122 probes (1:10 and
both fast enough).
Compensating them on the 1980B is no problem, gets perfectly flat.Same
applies to my old Gould 1492 slooow digital.
On the Tek i cant get a remotely flat line, and even with direct 50ohm
coax input from a signal gen (looks good on the 1980) i get peaking.

What could be bad here?
The more obwious stuff (dirty U/div switches) doesnt apply since it has
electronic attenuator switching.

Again, i dont have a manual on that instrument, i got it at a public
auction for real cheap (from a electronicy company that went bankrupt).
Also it doesnt seem popular enough for the manuals to appear at the
"typical" dealers.

Regards, robert
