content: Hi Folks,I ended up with two Tek 2465B scopes - they both power on, but neither are in good working condition. They are likely best for parts or a fun project for someone. I don't want to scrap them (especially since the 2465B was a good old analog scope), but I'd prefer they are out of my garage as well. So I would like to see them go to a good home where someone will love them and care for them and maybe read them a nice bedtime story every now and thenI'll (technically Rohde & Schwarz) will even cover shipping to anywhere in the US - sorry, I don't want to ship them internationally (insert angry comments here - I apologize in advance).As is. As my wife and I tell our kids - you get what you get and you don't throw a fit. They're free.First come, first served! Reserve in the thread and then PM me your shipping address and I'll get them out ASAP.-Rich

content: "Neither in good working condition" might be a challenge for a student. Ideally, the two could at least be Frankensteined into one working unit.They certainly look nice. (Thanks for adding pics.)

content: While the electronics hoarder in me would love to add a B to my stable, I have a couple working 2465s of my own and am actually looking to downsize a couple Tek scopes of my own. I'll give my chance to neo; he's a regular in the boat anchors (TEA) thread and would for sure be both thankful and a conscientious curator for these bits of space-era history.Cheers,mnemIf we save the whales, where will we keep them?

content: I have a large collection of Tek gear and would love to have one. Not to keep, just to try and get it working and calibrated again. I can make a video about it and then pass it on to a student it need.

content: Quote from: ArcticGeek on March 14, 2018, 01:48:45 amYou're number two in line (assuming Rog520 doesn't want the second one as it may not have a good CRT) so you get the second one.-Rich

content: Quote from: Rich@RohdeScopesUSA on March 14, 2018, 02:53:09 amNo worries mate. I love to tinker and if I can have fun and help someone get a cool scope, its a win-win. Thank you for the kindness and sharing it here on the blog.

content: Thanks for your consideration, Rich. I would take a gamble on it if you want to send it, but it sounds like ArcticGeek would give it a good home so probably best to send it his way. If you happen to come across another that might possibly have a good CRT, I would be very interested.
