content: Up for sale today: my Tektronix TDS2024B digital storage oscilloscope.This little beauty has four 200MHz bandwidth channels, with a peak sampling rate of two gigasamples per second.I've had it from new, bought through Thurlby-Thandar (now AIM-TTi) who were then and may still be the UK distributor for Tek products (though TTi themselves are famous in their own right for their power supplies and the iProber current probe).Only selling now because the I've bought an Agilent MSO-X3000 and have no use for two oscilloscopes. My loss, your gain?The 'scope has USB host mode support for USB drives and PictBridge -- this means you can plug in a USB stick to save waveform data and screenshots, or a PictBridge compatible printer (I use a Polaroid PoGo) to print screenshots to stick in your lab notebook. It also has USB device mode support, meaning you can connect it to a computer and remote-control it using standard Tek-style SCPI commands (USB-TMC compliant).Beyond that, pretty much your standard no-frills benchtop oscilloscope. Bench footprint is a little less than a stack of datasheets. Would be perfect for a student, someone on a limited budget or a newcomer to the electronics hobby.Accessories:All four original Tek P2220 probes complete with the plastic pouches and all original accessories (plastic colour-code clips, compensation trimmer twiddler tool, possibly some other stuff)Probe cables are intact and not cut, but may be slightly worn. The cables have been coiled for storage and held with Velcro, not the usual "folded figure-eight and held with a rubber band" method often seen. In other words, I've taken care of them!All original documentation -- ops manual and a few Tek how-to pamphlets. I might even have the calibration certificate somewhere, but it's years out of date.Tektronix soft carry case with shoulder strap (and enough space for the probes) - this was optional when I got the scope, but I found it very useful for keeping all the parts togetherSpare parts - the flip levers which tilt the front of the case and (if memory serves) a few spare probe ground leads and IC grabbers (witch-hats)IEC mains cable with UK BS1363 plug.Physical condition -- aside from a small scratch on the top casing (it's above the "K" on the "Tektronix" label), pristine. Case plastics are still the same colours they were when they left the factory. No stickers or sticker gunk -- I don't think I even got round to security marking it with a UV pen.I'm based in the Leeds area (that's the one in West Yorkshire) and would prefer the buyer collects and pay on collection, to avoid it getting lost in the post. Other options e.g. meet-up in a (very) public place e.g. train station or cafe' are also possible, feel free to enquire.I will ship it, but not outside the UK. Sadly international shipping rates on something of this size and weight would probably make it cost-prohibitive.There may be a delay while I scour the local shops for a suitably large box and a lot of packing material -- I will of course be happy to itemise the shipping and packaging costs if requested.Seems these are going for about £675 on Ebay as bare units without probes or accessories. So this one's a complete and utter *steal* at...£700... But if you think that's too high, feel free to submit your best offer!Cheers,Phil.
