content: I have for sale a Tektronix TDS754D 2 GS/sec 500 MHz DPO scope. It is very clean inside and outside. There is one chip on the front face. The scope has no errors and always passes SPC. The screen is bright and extremely clear - my camera phone really doesn't like taking pictures of the screen.Included are 5 probes - one is a Tektronix, the others are P6100 knockoffs.This scope is easy to mod to a TDS784D with 4 GS/sec by moving a few jumpers and to 1 GHz if you remove 4 capacitors. If the buyer wants I am happy to do the mod pre-shipment.Payment via paypal, I will ship anywhere but due to the size and weight I expect it is only realistic to sell to US/Canada.Sold to a good man!Local pickup in Langley, BC and a face to face sale is always welcomed as well.Please see the attached pictures, any questions feel free to ask!More then anything I want it to go to a good home.

content: Hello,on the risk to sound cheeky: I still have the DPO with the attenuator problem.Now, I, of course, see a golden opportunity. If I send you the attenuator, you can use the TDS754D you have as "base" and I can save on shipping. I would, of course, compensate both you and the new owner of the scope.Is this something you would want to entertain?Tam

content: Quote from: TAMHAN on November 14, 2016, 09:29:27 pmI don't know anything about an attenuator issue. I do recall you having a problem with a lifted trace when reworking the ram that I offered to help with.

content: Hello TheSteve,sorry for the confusing formulation - I am working very, very hard here and sometimes lose it a little bit.Yes, I was referring to that unit. It still is in the state pictured. My idea, now, was that I would simply send you the attenuator well packed-up, and you could test it in your DPO.All the bestTam

content: I have not taken this scope apart to remove boards or anything so I'm not too excited to do that when I want to sell it. If it was something I had taken apart before to repair, it would be different. If you want to send me your board I can still fix the damaged trace, testing shouldn't really be needed. Seems sad it needs to go all the way to Canada and back for a trace repair but I am sure I can do it.Now as far as the scope goes I am dropping the price to $500.00 - if anyone is interested let me know and we'll negotiate on shipping.

content: That's a good price, would have snapped this up even with the shipping if I hadn't just bought a new Rigol scope. Also why is all the nice Tek / HP gear always across the pond ?
