Interested. Finding and fixing old junk is always fun. If it works, great, if not, spare parts, greater! So can I assume you are getting retired bench equipment etc?

Probably depends on how cheap is cheap. But I'm sure some of us will help coach you through fixing them, as long as you promise not to zap yourself.

Of course, if you found a source for discounted new modern stuff, the interest is even higher.

I desperately need a frequency counter and a DSO made after 1990! I'd love to browse your inventory.

Basically i just found what a crazy nuts deal on used equitment. Alot of it works some of it doesnt if i can repair or get help reparing broken stuff thats a plus! Basically this stuff is so cheap its costing me nothing for what I get but the shipping is a little pricey...

At the moment I dont have an inventory martin... Im going to do my first buy in a few days hopefully im going to get 4 HP 54602B its a 150mhz 2 channel scope, kinda of old im pretty sure its not what your looking for martin. But if there is some stuff your intrested in pm me directly and ill see what I can get for you. I can definately get bench frequency meters. Basically i dont wanna order stuff that cant be sold easily on ebay, but if i can find something you like ill definately order it if your your going to buy it.

Basically i guess i was giving everyone here an option for stuff before i go throw it on ebay. As far as these first 4 scopes there hopefully going to generate the capitol to buy alot more, im seeing on ebay there priced from about 150 to 900. They seem to be selling at around 2-300 in reality sometimes lower or higher at different places. Unfourtantely i think my partner would kill me if i let these scopes gpo tp cheap instead of bidding them off since there hopefully going to generate our start up money. If anyone is intrested i can work a deal between 150-200 depending on shipping.


anyways martin send me a pm a with a littloe more description about what your looking for as far as the counter.. ill see what i can do but youll have to have a bit of patience.

I sure you can offer some good deals if you can buy it cheep enough but also be aware that test equipment prices have been falling. Would you offer any warranty? money back guarantee if the purchaser is not happy after trying it?

Here's a modern 100 Mhz scope price for comparison
