content: Yes, there a a whole load of them in a bin. They were large format 16x2 displays which I thought may prove useful in the future.During the rummage I also found a 'scope probe, it looked like a Tek' one. I tugged on it a bit only to discover that it was a 500MHz, 8pF P6139A. I thought that was rather cool until I then discovered that it was connected to CH1 of a Tek' TDS3032B.I don't think that even Dave's bins could top that sort of success. I am a bit pleased with my findings.

content: A rather accurate thought process to mine.Further investigation reveals that said 'scope is loaded with advanced trigger and FFT functions. Should I be bummed that it's only 2CH with just one probe or should I put my lottery tickets on.

content: First of all, congratulations on such successful dumpster dive!Quote from: Kibi on July 17, 2013, 06:51:47 pm"This damn TV has such a small screen, only receives two channels, no volume control but just vertical and horizontal, and it has a horrible white color that looks like a desktop PC from the 90's... What kind of dinosaur TV is that?!? I am going to trash this thing!!!"Quote from: Short Circuit on July 17, 2013, 08:20:31 pmPrecisely my thought.

content: Quote from: tom66 on July 17, 2013, 08:35:33 pmDespite being a fast 'scope, it is slow on it's waveform updates compared to my Agilent, but ja, who bin's something like that! Sure, In our day-to-day work, we have rescued numerous 485B's from the bin, some including the DMM option, but, I agree, this is no excuse.
