Description
Tektronix 1745A Waveform Vector Monitor & 760A Stereo Audio Monitor AS-IS
This listing includes two Tektronix rack-mounted broadcast monitors — the 1745A Waveform/Vector Monitor and the 760A Stereo Audio Monitor — housed together in a standard 19" 3U rackmount chassis. Both units are being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. The 1745A powers on and responds to incoming video signal but does not display the background graticule grid or on-screen menus, which may indicate a CRT failure or internal electronic fault. The 760A powers on and responds to incoming audio data but similarly lacks a visible graticule and menu display, consistent with a CRT screen issue.

Applications
The Tektronix 1745A is a professional broadcast-grade waveform and vectorscope monitor used in television production, post-production, and broadcast engineering facilities to measure and display video signal characteristics — waveform amplitude, chrominance phase and amplitude (vectorscope), and related parameters. It was widely used in analog composite video environments alongside routing switchers and production switchers in master control and editing suites. The companion 760A is a dedicated stereo audio monitor designed to display Left, Right, and AUX channel audio levels with high resolution dB metering, used alongside waveform monitors in broadcast and production facilities to ensure proper audio levels during recording and transmission. These instruments date from the late 1980s through the 1990s era of analog broadcast production and remain sought after for legacy facility maintenance and repair, CRT display restoration projects, and retro broadcast engineering applications.
This Tektronix 1745A Waveform/Vector Monitor and 760A Stereo Audio Monitor set is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair — neither unit is fully functioning. The 1745A powers on and responds to incoming video signal, but the background graticule grid and on-screen menu functions do not appear; this may be a CRT screen failure or an electronic malfunction. The 760A similarly powers on and responds to incoming audio data, but its background graticule grid and menu functions do not display — likely a CRT screen issue. Both units are rack-mounted together in a standard 19" 3U chassis. They are sold strictly as-is with no functionality guarantee.
