content: A big attaboy thanks from me to John! Scope works a treat and one day I'll be passing this on free (pay it fwd) to another member.edit:Oh meant to say...cleaned it up ...all good. The CRT implosion shield had rear side dust deposited from being close to the CRT HV. Following the manual...had to disassemble and remove the CRT to access this. Hell no...big job! Ghetto mod to the shields plastic mount...had the shield out in a few minutes cleaned and put back...all without disturbing the CRT.

content: If I was in Melbourne or the scope was up in Sydney, I would have grabbed it day one.As for the other person, it seems they are on a scope scrounge - and aren't shy about it.

content: If you really want the scope scrounge from hell, come to Australia.The scope offered by the OP is a unicorn here, especially at the price. Anything that does show up here tends to be at premium prices. Certainly they are way above typical prices in the USA.

content: SKHILLBILLYSluresYou really need to update your forum profile to show your location. Go to Profile/Modify profile/Forum Profile and "select your country"....and this will display a flag of where you are.Costs for postage for any parcel from Australia to USA is more than expensive...its extremely exhorbitant. Funny enough postage from USA to Australia is about 1/2 or so what we pay for the reverse.Anyway this will allow users to see your location are more likely to reply knowing where you are.Brendan
