Removing the carrying handle from a Tek 2211 'scope

[Rick]

Has anyone tried removing the carrying handle from a Tektronix 2211
(or similar) 'scope? It's the one that just pulls out under tension,
and has a circle of lugs that locate into the main body.

I'm trying to stack my equipment up and the handle is a pain!

I haven't been inside it yet, and don't want to break anything, so I
thought I'd ask here before I do!

Rick.

There are a pair of screws inside the case that holds on the handle,one on
each side,center of the handle pivot.They are TorX head screws,T15 or
T20,IIRC.Remove the scopes' rear panel(4 screws) and slide the case
off,then look inside at the handle area.The rear panel screws are probably
dual slotted/TorX head screws,T15.

That's great. I'll try it now.

Thanks,

Yup, that worked. Equipment is now neatly stacked. All I have to do is
find a home for the handle where I won't lose it!

Thanks again,
