content: It's time to pare down the scope collection. I have two old Tektronix tube scopes - a 504 and a 503. These are very basic scopes, but still useful for a beginner, or even as curve tracers for quick troubleshooting. These aren't as large as the 535/545 scopes. The 503 is one channel, the 504 is two channel.I also have a Tektronix 7000 series scope. (7603) It's missing a vertical plug-in, but still has one plug in for two channel operation.It's almost spring in the US, and I live in North Georgia near I-75, so anyone going to Florida can stop on the way and I can meet you to deliver it. I just hate to throw these away. These will be free of charge.If there is any interest, I'll dig them out and turn them on (but not take them apart) and confirm they work. These aren't worth shipping. I'm giving them away and I only guarantee they are worth what you'll pay. Thus, I'm not going to do any testing/investigating.

content: Maybe there is something local they can be donated to. Some kind of trade school? Hope you can find a new home for them!

content: @ExcavatoreeI know you mentioned that you won't be shipping anything, but if you can't find a suitable home for your 7603 and you are going to junk it, I would love to get the plug-ins.Mine has a 7A18 dual trace amplifier that is not working right, I want to repair it and I'm getting modules from ebay since I also got a 7613 full rack mount that I won recently at an auction in pretty bad condition but fully functional.I'm planning to restore the full rack one and give it to a local hackerspace since it's too big and the 7603 is plenty to keep around.The 7A18 module has a broken display mode knob, it reads voltage way low and the position doesn't adjust the negative side of the signal on either channel. Seems like it should be an easy fix but I rather get a backup in case I do mess it up even more.On the 7613 one of the amplifiers (7A15A) has a broken voltage divider and cal, lucky me the cal is on and I can operate the voltage divider just fine.Here are some pictures of my beasts (since they are almost 2 feet deep and pretty heavy by today's standards even if the 7603 was sold as a light weight scope originally) including a old 5110 that I got with the 7613 for $50 for both:I did clean up the screen since it had whatever it was splattered to it all over the display as well, and I'm trying to figure out how to clean up the rest of that splatter without damaging the legends on the rest of the scope.Edit: Here is how they were when I picked them up, at least I got the screens clean so far:Anyways, if you are going to dump the 7603 would you consider shipping the modules at my cost? Also what modules does it have?

content: Sorry, I just figured out how to edit the subject. Right now, someone has expressed interest in all three. I may have more, later, as I continue to clean out the Excavator EE lair.miguelvp - very nice work.
