content: Depending on where you are located, I may or may not be interested in picking some up.Be aware that there are many manymanystories of test equipment being poorly packaged by people that aren't used to doing it - with the result that the equipment doesn't survive the journey and has to be returned. Apparently none of the carriers insure glass and some actually prohibit carrying it.Little known fact: Tektronix invented and patented the familiar foam packing peanut,http://www.google.co.uk/patents/US3188264More important fact: such peanuts are unsuitable for heavy gear: the gear simply pushes them out of the way until a corner rests against the corner of the external packaging (until it breaks through, that is)

content: Quote from: bitslice on June 07, 2016, 09:59:01 pmI guessed that, but I was worried. I started wondering why he would want rid of it for that amount absolutely ridicolous seen as the price of the gear. ahah sorry.

content: Quote from: Brumby on June 08, 2016, 12:51:45 amThe original owner used tineye.com to search for pics of his stolen gear, and the OP is now chatting with the police?Actually, there's a good idea here. If one didn't mind making a small unique permanent mark on the face of instruments, tineye _would_ be a good way to see if they ever turn up on the net, if stolen.
