Probably the best scope I ever used.
Also of note:

 

I purchased my 465 in the '70s from an associate who was upgrading to the 475. When asked why the change he opined "With a 465 you can talk to Jesus. With a 475 you can talk to GOD."

 

he opined "With a 465 you can talk to Jesus. With a 475 you can talk to GOD."

Over the years, I think I've known 3 or 4 versions of that guy.

We had a Tek 465 on a scope dolly in our lab. I wonder what became of it.

 

I donated most of the shops Tek 465s and older Tek scopes to the local HS and community college. I still have the carts because those things are tanks that can carry a ton of test equipment as a system.
This one was headed to the door but it died so I decided to fix it, once.

Now it's got a bad PS capacitor that needs replacement but it's at the bottom of the repair list.

 

What was their new price back in the day ?

IIRC the new price was close to $2K. I remember being happy I got it for about half price.

 

Then Leader brought out a work-alike that wasn't quite as good but was at half the price. We had a budget for one but we were able to buy two.

For $2K (for fun translate to the TEK 465 $2K dollar equivalence) you can still get a modern TEK scope (base model without options).

Indeed! Google:

$2,000 in 1976 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $10,689.88 today, an increase of $8,689.88 over 47 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.63% per year between 1976 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 434.49%.

For $10k today you can get a 4ch 2 GHz 12" DSO.
