Tektronix CRT and LCD Data Tektronix / Tek Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) Skip the INTRO, Go RIGHT to the CATALOG! We no longer stock or sell Tek CRTs, but the info here may prove useful in matching the tube you need to your instrument. We are searching for these useful CRTs all the time, and try to keep this section stocked with as wide an assortment as possible, EMAIL US if you have good tubes available for sale. Here's your chance to get some truly amazing parts at great prices. Quantities are limited, so when they are gone, that's it. NAVIGATION: To make your life easier, and help you find exactly what you want, we have broken the on-line equipment catalogs into smaller sections. Just CLICK on the item you are looking for at the left, to see the matching catalog. Large graphical catalogs are a bit SLOW, so please give them a bit of time to load. The top header of each catalog is largely the same, so don't think you are stuck in one place! You can order anything here just by picking up the phone, and calling (250) 769-1834 during normal office hours, 8:30AM to 4:30PM PST, OR, Email your order to Susan HERE. SHIPPING: Preferred and Alternate Methods as of June 4, 2013, CLICK for FULL DETAILS ON OUR FAQ Page. Rates are now changing rapidy, often with little notice to us, so all the data has been transferred to the FAQ page for speedy updating. E-Mail Susan if you want a quote for shipping to other destinations, or for something heavy. Sorry, we can't safely send most individual small parts in a regular letter envelope, they get destroyed by the automated handling equipment. Sometimes we can ship very rugged parts in a small padded envelope by letter post. Ask Susan. There is a packing charge for large or heavy equipment, see the FAQ for details. If we have your valid data on file, you can just click on the ORDER email link to place an order and indicate your approval to bill, and we will do the rest. We keep your active information for ONE YEAR for your convenience.

We accept VISA/MC, international money order, Paypal (to Susan@Okanagan.net), and bank wire transfer. Please note that there are transaction fees with Paypal and wire transfer payments, the wire transfer fee is frankly horrifying. CONDITION: We have both new and used CRTs (tested where possible), and we destroy any marginal tubes so they do not re-surface elsewhere. At the very least, all pass a filament continuity test, and have no burns or marks, are clean and have a good vacuum. Please note, CRTs are bulky to ship, and there is no such a thing as cheap shipping for these tubes. The CATALOG will appear below shortly!

Odd waveform distortion (humps, curves, sudden angles) that is in the same physical place on the CRT (regardless of control settings) especially of very unusual shape, is generally caused by:
1. Magnetic interference: this can be accidentally magnetized parts within the CRT, adjacent hardware or an external source. move the scope, if the interference is unchanged, degauss the tube and chassis with a standard TV degaussing coil (or any home made one excited by AC). If this improves matters, keep looking for the exact offending part, and degauss again, or remove the hardware that is magnetized. You can usually cure this problem, but it is time consuming. Severe magnetic distortion can be caused by a single magnetized screw in the wrong place. Don't sit a scope on top of a speaker cabinet or by speakers,, or near anything with a magnetron in it, the results can be serious.
2. Mechanical distortion within the tube: if the above technique doesn't work, the tube or scope has probably been dropped, and the shock has broken or bent an internal electrode or support. If the tube exhibits the identical distortion outside the chassis, with the shield removed, it is damaged, and has to be replaced.
Other CRT issues:
3. If the display is crooked relative to the gracticule lines (goes at an angle), this is almost always the trace rotation adjustment, which may not be easy to find or readily accessible in some models. Generally, it is DC bias applied to a coil around the CRT neck, you may be able to find the control by following the coil wires back to the PC board. It is VERY common for this to be out of adjustment after shipping. calibration is not affected.
4. If the display is turned up or down at the corners, or has an angled appearance, it is probably the geometry adjustment, and this can be complex to set, you must use the manual and follow the CRT alignment carefully. Calibration is affected. Some scopes have supplemental X or Y axis alignment as well, generally via coils.
5. If strange trace effects occur at the face of the tube when touched, it probably indicates high static build up on the display filter, or tube face. Clean the parts, then wipe everything down with a standard anti-static wipe, the effect will disappear. Plastic can be very highly charged when rubbed with a synthetic cloth for cleaning. Use a damp cotton cloth or anti-static wipe to avoid this effect
