Hello colleagues. I am in neeed of schematic and service manuals for TAMPA model M-AUDIO mixer.

Any help is appreciated.

Tampa's a mic pre-amp. Do you have the mic/line switch and impedance
selection knob configured correctly for whatever is plugged into it? You
have a mic actually connected when you're listening for noise on the
"mic" setting, yeah?

Thanks for pointing out the inaccuracy of my post. My task is one of identification.
I just bought an inexpensive one from one of the references. I'll use my flashlight arrangement as a backup.
I did learn something from Jeff about cable locators - TY. Will file that away as I may be doing some of that in the future.

It's a relatively simple part of the scope, if it's
an accurate diagnosis.
 
Helps if you have a working scope to repair this one.

The cat can be thought dead or alive - until you open the box.

**Who knows? Download a service manual and get to work. The 465/b is an
excellent 'scope and built to last a VERY long time.

I second the motion to join & post on the TekScopes message board. A lot of *very* knowledgeable ppl hang out there. IMHO, I'd spend 15 mins with it plugged in to understand more clearly the characteristics of the malfunction. If you put that info in your post, you might get a bit more of an answer along the lines you are looking for.
A 465 is a very well-known and popular scope. It was standard gear for DEC and IBM field circus back in the day, and a typical scope in a lot of college EE labs.
good luck
