content: I have some test equipment that i am selling and i thought that I would put it up here on the EEVBlog forum before it goes on eBay. Mostly because I am getting a wee bit fed up of eBays greed with regard to fees. They really do need to have some serious competition.Anyway I have the following items which I no longer require -1. Agilent MSO-X 3012A scope.This was purchased about a month ago for some design work I'm doing but I quickly realised that I need four channels and greater bandwidth. So I have just bought an Agilent MSO-X 3034A and need to sell the 3012A. I purchased it from a university where it was old new stock. It was unopened but had been in stores for over a year since they purchased it and were now selling these items as the project they were purchased for was cancelled. I have to say that it is a cracking scope and were it not for my requirement for the extra channels and the greater bandwidth I would have been perfectly happy with it.2. LeCroy 9304 four channel 175MHz bandwidth scope.What can I say about this scope. It has been my main workhorse scope and it is still a real beauty. Very stable and reliable indeed. I would not be selling it but for the purchase of the 3034 Agilent. It is getting on a bit and it is rather bulky but it performs flawlessly. It has serial and GPIB on the rear as well as a floppy disk on the top. I have never used the floppy disk as I don't have any 3.25" disks or anything to play them on, not a GPIB board to talk to the scope, so I can't vouch for whether they work or not, but the serial works fine and I have used it to capture waveforms and transfer them to the computer.3. Tektronix 2711 9KHz to 1.8GHz Spectrum Analyser.Been a very good SA but I have just bought an HP8920 RF Communications Test Set which has the in-built tracking generator which the 2711 does not have. There is a fault with the 2711 in that it is temperamental when it comes to starting up, and I have posted a video of the SA showing it working, and the fault appearance. It is on YouTube and can be seen here - - - -https://youtu.be/5IM26ajkDdUIt hasn't really bothered me too much as it has always started up eventually and once it is running it never gave a moments trouble. It's quite light too which is more than can be said for the HP8920!So these items are for sale and if anyone is interested can you send me a DM with a sensible offer. I will ship to Europe but would prefer to sell to someone in the UK since international shipping can be a minefield. Also collection would be the best option for anyone living near Berkshire, or I could deliver if not too far distant.Any questions about the items just ask and I will try to answer. Also I can take more photo's if required.Thanks, Chris

content: Prices?Your tek problem seems to be leaky/bad caps in the PSU section... my tek scope had a similar problem during startup (takes a long time, or fail to start), replacing the caps fixed the flaky/intermittent startup problems.

content: Thanks FiveFish for the info. That sounds pretty plausible. I might have a look at them to see if there are any obviously faulty.Cheers,Chris
