Every Tek scope I've worked with required probes which have this pin to ring contact so that the scope scales itself automatically with the probe.  I recently purchased a brand new 100mhz probe on ebay from a seller named avexprobes.  I paid around $35 for it, and it came with some extras such as a probe BNC connector.  Works well.  I have a few tek 6105?? probes that I bought as a lot, majority of those work well, some are junk.
