Refurbishing a Tektronix TDS7104 Oscilloscope

For a brief second, I thought this was about an original 7104.

Are there specific TDS models that you have found to be better, btw, reliability-wise?

>an original 7104

I've got one, they are very cool. I also have a 7834 (storage tube), cool in a different way. On the other hand, they are taking up a lot of space... I also have two 485s, one with a broken trigger.

Other than the very bottom end ones, no. Mostly went to Hp/Agilent instead.

Thanks for answering, not surprising. I think the transition from all-hardware to Windows-driven digital hard on Tektronix and many other storied engineering teams.
