Tektronix 2215a

[Plasmah77]

Hi all

I need help.

I recently acquired a used Tektronix 2215A from Ebay. And the unit seems to work as far as I can tell. I used the probe adjust which is 1 Khz/500 mV. And it did read and display as such.

The problem with the unit is the Trigger. No matter what I do I cannot seem to freeze or stabilize anything on the screen. The wave form moves left or right but never stays put. The only thing I can get it to do is SLOW down but that's about all.

Please help

Thanks

Jim
