- A Tek 564 uh? Well your in luck as I too own such a 'beast' (along with the
- 2B67 and 3A72 plug-ins as well as the 3L5 1Hz to 1MHz spectrum analyiser and
- 3B3 delayed sweep and 3T77 random sweep plugins.) I just happen to have the
- manuals for all of it too. The calibration of it is pretty straight forward
- with the manual, but without it, you would have better luck trying to launch it
- to Mars ;-) At any rate, I'll see if I can dig up some copies for you. BTW,
- don't leave the secondary intensity turned up to high in storage mode or the
- CRT will bite the big one (I.E. a perment trace in both the upper and lower
- display areas). Nice little beasty though ;-)
