Both channels on the verticle front end are damaged. One dual FET follower
is a definite (Q1297). It is tek part number 151-1090-00. I haven't seen one
yet using google. Is there a replacement or two discretes out there that
will work?
I noticed that the pinouts for the chip following the dual FET (U1290), are
incorrect. Doing a diode test on the chip, there are several pins
mislabeled. The external circuitry seems to go to the pins as shown on the
schematic, but the internal circuitry ohms out to different pins. This would
only be an issue if you ohm out the chip like I did to see if the chip was
bad. If anyone is interested, I can post what seems to be the correct
internal circuitry.

They would have to be matched,else you get an offset.

check this out;

it appears they have some 151-1090's for sale.
they also cross ref to a "2N5911 family".

the 155-0078-xx is used in a lot of different scopes,several 7000 series
plug-ins,too.

Thanks Jim. I had already been to that site and didn't see it the first
time, even with my glasses on!
Offset is the issue I am having.

I've seen the input BNC connector cause DC offsets!
seems it absorbs contaminants and becomes a weak "battery".

I replaced the channel 1 connector, but plugged in one of the power
connectors backwards. So I blew one of the dual fets and the other one seems
to have a leakage problem. There is DC on the gate lead right after the
attenuator. The 1 meg resistor in the attenuator output isn't low enough to
pull the gate to 0 volts. Out of the circuit I can't measure anything
abnormal with the FET but in circuit the DC is there.
BTW , you are a great weath of info for these tek products.
