content: Offered here to my eevblog compadres before it goes to eBay. I just discovered this Tek 2467 scope that got stored in a room it didn't belong in, and has been sitting there idle for over a decade. It's a nice, low-mileage unit (983 power-on hours) with Option 11 (Probe power connectors) in excellent condition that has been tested and works fine. It comes with pouch, op manual, and a couple screen lenses that look like camera accessories.Price is $575 + NM sales tax + shipping. Payment by check or Paypal, no added fees.

content: Very nice scope. Isn't the tube in the 2467 covered by ITAR rules..? If it is, you might have issues with international shipping.

content: Hmmm... interesting question, I don't know the answer. Over the years I've sold plenty of 24xx scopes overseas and this has never come up.

content: Quote from: AVGresponding on November 22, 2022, 04:58:07 pmSo you're saying it's on theUS Munitions List? Do you have a reference for this? A quick search of the TekScopes list didn't find anything relevant. Same withTekWiki. I would also find that unlikely, given how they are usually concerned with things that can be used in electronic warfare, advanced radar, nukes, etc. Not an old analog scope that can display glitches with a somewhat lower repetition rate than normal analog scopes, but nothing special compared to a modern digital scope. Maybe if your scope was part of a military system, then it could be covered. But that's about the history of the device, rather than about the specific technology. A hammer used in the same project would be equally controlled.It's a very nice scope regardless, though

content: I believe it is something to do with the response speed of the CRT. It may be an expired restriction in any case, I really am not sure. EEVBlog user Robert763 would have a better knowledge of it than me.

content: Something to do with micro-channel-plate CRT, apparently need an export license, due to legislation that seems out of date to me, see link for more info.https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/test-equipment-anonymous-(tea)-group-therapy-thread/msg4034320/#msg4034320David

content: Indeed, but I wouldn't be surprised to find similar legislation in all NATO countries. Either way, if you want to ship it abroad, best to check with USCS in advance, rather than have the thing suddenly confiscated.

content: Quote from: AVGresponding on November 23, 2022, 06:09:51 pmThe US ITAR regulation is concerning theUS Munitions List, and I don't find anything concerning CRTs on that list. Either way, the correct authority for ITAR is thedepartment of stateand forEAR(where I don't see anything related to CRTs either) thedepartment of commerce. I'm not sure what help you expect from the USCS/CBP?So far it looks more like it's just the UK having this outdated regulation.

content: Quote from: alm on November 24, 2022, 12:22:44 amYou may well be correct; I already said I don't know for sure. Whatever the case, best to find out before the fact, rather than afterwards, wouldn't you say?

content: Quote from: AVGresponding on November 24, 2022, 05:57:05 pmSure, but I prefer to find out from primary sources rather than based on vague stories I might have heard once. Here's what theCCL says about scopes:QuoteAnd the licensing requirements for 3A992, which by the way doesn't cover the 2467 (less than 1 GHz bandwidth) call for a license for countries marked in AT column 1 inthis list. So in brief, don't send your Tek 7104 to North Korea or Iran. But you might want to be careful selling anything to these countries.

content: It's not about the bandwidth of the front end, in this case, but about the construction of the CRT itself. Why should I do the research, I'm not the one selling it? I'm sounding a friendly note of caution to the seller to do so, whether they choose to do so is their business.
