Many years ago I bought a 502A (rackmount) on ebay, and was assured by the seller that it would be very carefully packed.  When the box arrived, I could tell that it was not packed well because the

Hi Guys, What are the functional differences between the 1740 and 1740A? And, more importantly for me, are there any differences between the DB25 remote ports? Thanks, Stefan

It is interesting about the 465 being put in cargo rather than in the cabin. What is interesting about that is the reason those scopes are the size they are. Tektronix built them that way specifically

Parting out a Tek 177. Does anyone need anything from a 177? I have one that is in kind of rough shape. The knob is not cracked but needs a good cleaning pictures are available at request. The only

I deal with freight shipments regularly. It can certainly mean that. They will also do lift gate services as well but often you have to pay extra for that. Eric

The only time I ever had scopes shipped was when I bought two 7104s on ebay. I had a brief back-and-forth with the seller about shipping these cross country; he assured me that he knew what he was

I think the biggest part of the problem is the nature of the current economy. People are orderings stuff to be delivered at beyond a record pace. Shippers are struggling to keep up. At the same time,

FYI The seller quoted me $200 for shipping (freight) to Florida. I'm already working on a project 576 so I passed but I was sorely tempted. I was also concerned that "Freight" shipping would mean that

Someone may have a snipe on it; I always snipe on bidding auctions. Watch the price shoot up during the last 90 seconds. Given the price these things seem to go for currently, I doubt it will end up

Hello Jay, Nice to hear from you again, old coot. Was worried you closed down. Good that is not the case, just in case I ever need any more repairs done. Either way: the Tds754D survived the trip to
