content: EDIT: Everything sold!Selling for space limitations on a shared hackerspace. All equipment is verified to be fully functional and present no noticeable damage. It was owned by an ex-Kodak engineer who passed away and took great care of the equipment. It has barely been used by hackerspace members.Interested parties are more than welcome to visit, inspect and test the goods themselves, not disclosing location unless PM'd for security reasons. Prices are set ballpark, based on eBay searches but those are negotiable within reason.* Tektronix 485 Portable Benchtop Digital / Analog Storage Oscilloscope: ~$300* Tektronix 7104 oscilloscope with several modules/addons: ~$1000 + addons: 7B10, 7B92A, 7A29, 7A28, 7D15, 7A26* Tektronix PSU/DM modules name your price, modules: PS503A, AM503, DM501, DC503* Tektronix P6303/AM 503 Current Probe ~$400* Tektronix P6201 active FET probe: ~$380* HP Logic Analyzer 1660CS: ~$200* HP 8005A pulse generator: ~$300* HP 5335A Universal Counter: ~$300Posting some of the pictures here (within this forum's 10 images and space limits).

content: Hm, my bad, I might have confused it... should have taken better pictures, I'll double check!Checked! Must be a 7A26 instead:https://w140.com/tekwiki/wiki/7A26And to be extra fair, I just noticed that somebody damaged some of the knobs (bastards!). I'm including the photo and this particular will of course be offered at a discounted price. I'm confident that no other test equipment modules were harmed though.

I do like them.I've also liked the 7000 series for a while - partly because it would look really impressive on my bench- and this 7104 rather appeals ... but ...- I do not have the space- I do not have the need- It's too far away to do pickup- It's definitely not in the budget- It would be the lastnail300nails in my coffin.(Read priority in reverse order)Bean - sit down!

content: Heads up- the PS503A, AM503, DM501 and DC503 do NOT go with the 7104. They're 500 modules for the TM enclosure, I wouldn't bundle them with the scope like that

I hope and expect someone will want to use it.Standard Tek quality, but also has two unusually good features:a true 50ohm input, not the usual 50ohm//20pF found on most scopes or with a 50ohm load added to a 1Mohm//20pF scope. Rather useful for RF measurements!the cal out signal has a <1ns risetime, making it useful not only for tweaking *10 "high" impedance probes, but also setting up the entire scopeSome also have a rather pretty blue phosphor

content: Quote from: brainstorm on May 08, 2023, 03:53:46 amThat answer is in the wallet of the beholder. I've literally been given piles of these things for free, and I've also paid good money for single pluginsAlso depends if you're trying to sell as a lot or individually and who is looking for what at the time (this goes for both the 500 stuff as well as the 7000 stuff). Like last Friday I would've snapped up the counter plugins for either or both straight away because I needed an extra one, but on Saturday I bought a new counter that fills that hole for now

content: The last remaining items:* HP 8005A pulse generator and* HP 5335A Universal CounterWill be given to whoever names the highest price. So, hedge your bets ladies and gentlemenShall we start at a symbolic $20? If there are no responses, those two instruments will most probably be canned.
