I know nothing about what you guys do with this radio stuff, but I found a couple of these at work that I could get for almost free.
If someone can use one, get in touch. Probably 1980s vantage.
 
I'll post a pic when I get to work tomorrow .
 
interested....
 
Be careful how much you spend on old oscopes.... new ones are cheap and often faster capture rates with MUCH MUCH better resolution. Just my experience as an electronics tech...
 
If there are any probe kits laying around, I could use a set. Don't remember the Model I have. I'll have to look that up unless Howard chimes in.

Dr D, don't they make gear that attaches to your Android device now?

Those are a couple dual channel 20Mhz scopes that appear to be in working condition. Probes can be had off ebay for cheap. Both / either of those would be great for use in a test bench or in a station. Connecting a wire from the input terminal to the "CAL" junction on the front panel of these after setting the scope Input to the least sensitive setting should result in a square wave showing that the synch and vertical amps work.

If someone is close enough, these are useful instruments to have

Edit: here's some very affordable probes: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/1518945...&ul_noapp=true

Are they Tek quality... no ... but there's Tek probes on the 'Bay also . So if you get a free scope and $10 for a probe.... you're GTG

Well, several people said "I want, or I'm interested" but nothing more.
If someone can use one, it can be had for a donation to my wife for her MS walk
fundraiser at the NC zoo this spring. Otherwise they are dumpster bound.
