content: Howdy and welcome to my "give me free stuff, please" rant. Recently I became interested in electronics. Probably due to Dave's enthusiasm! My son and I are learning together as a hobby. He is 6 in May and really getting into it fast! In general we are looking for an oscilloscope, nothing fancy(analog, please)! Something a mum and her babe can tinker with in the afternoon and weekends! Anything else, be it useful components, gadgets, or just stuff to tear apart would be awesomely appreciated! Thank you

content: if you are interested in a scope, I can ship you one. Its a Digital scope, but still uses a CRT based display. its by HP and while i dont remember the model, it worked fine the last time I turned it on. I bought it years ago at an auction and i never really used it. I can ship it for free by UPS if you like

content: Honestly, I would be able to use everything there except maybe the Fluke 117. I have entered the contest to hopefully win a Fluke 27. I wouldn't want to take the 117 away from some other beginner who may need it. Unless of course it is easier for you to just toss it in a box with the rest and send it our way. Holy halibut! What a bunch of COOL gear you have to give away! I was just talking about how bad we needed a soldering set. Wow, jeez we could just have all kinds of fun with that collection of goodies! I'll PM you my address!
