I bought this BK precision 2160 scope new awhile ago. I"m retired and don't use it anymore. What kind of trouble are we talking about if I just gave it to you. Everything works on it. I think I still have the manual and all. But the cost to get it to you would probably more than its worth. I live in Pennsylvania USA and Germany is a long long way from here.

For schematics I just contacted B&K in California and they sent them to me.

Would you PLEASE sell a copy of the BK-2160 Oscilloscope Schematics?

Thanks

Would someone sell me a copy of the Schematic? I would greatly appreciate it!

Hello Aler,

Now I am in the same situation with this same type of oscilloscope (I have purchased on Ebay also) but I have no schematic diagram. I can help you in your problem because I have professional level knowledgement in this kind of electronic repairs - and you can help me in my problem. I would need the schematic diagram first of all.

Best Regards,

I bought a BK Precision 2160 from ebay that was reported to be in working condition but sold as is. The picture on ebay showed a working scope.
When I got it in the mail it didn't work. (Surprise there huh?)
The symptoms are this:
No output on the CRT. 'Beam Find' doesn't find the beam.
The unit seems to power up, the power led comes on, the trigger led flashes every now and again when I turn a knob or flip a swith.

I have the schematics for the scope but being an electronics newbie they aren't much help without instructions.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to start to troubleshoot this thing?
Thanks in advance,
Aler

Aler,
Forget all the other advice you have received so far. If pressing the beam finder button does not display a trace then something is seriously wrong internally in the scope. First, check all the power supplies to see if they are putting out the correct voltages. You will need a high voltage probe to check the cathode and accelerator voltages. Be VERY careful as these are thousands of volts!!! The lower voltages can be checked with a standard meter (digital or VOM). Then check to see if the sweep circuits are working. It starts to get rather complicated here so you might want to find someone in your area to give you a hand.
By the way, could I get a copy of your schematics for this scope, please?
If possible, email them to me at gridleakrick--at--yahoo.com (of course, replace --at-- with @).
Thanks,
gridleakrick

I am sure you would have tried turning the 'intensity' up? If you find the beam wind it back down so you can just see the trace or you will burn the phosphors.
Do you have the sweep mode switched to main? Below is the user manual, it has a procedure for finding the beam.

http://www.bkprecision.com/manual/2160A_manua.pdf

Some models have a resistor connecting to the BNC plug, if it was overloaded this could be burnt? Can you test FET's? Any further fault finding should be done by somebody who knows the danger involved, there could be 12 000 Volts present with the unit unplugged.

Let us know how you go.

Sorry, didn't work:

Pruefe mal, ob die Bildroehre ueberhaupt heizt. Achtung, im Betrieb hohe Spannungen. Im abgedunkelten Raum sieht man dann gut, ob die Heizung der Gluehkathode arbeitet.
