Wasn't a snipe either, the last bid was 4 minutes before the end of the auction. Vince. -- K8ZW http://www.metalworkingfun.com http://www.hamradio.fun

Hi Michael and others on this thread , just to add my few pennies worthSeveral years ago when postal charges were more reasonable I bought over a short period 3 Tek 7k scopes 7854,7834 and a 7104 from

Winning bid was $228.50, not a bad price but who knows what freight will be. Paul -- Paul Amaranth, GCIH | Manchester MI, USA Aurora Group of Michigan, LLC |

Roy, Sadly, Most E-Bay sellers (and sellers on all platforms) just do not understand how heavy and how delicate these scopes are. Remember that most of them are regular folks (Zero Electronics

Well... here's a link on how not to pack a 500... apparently. The OP is trying to explain that the shipper told him not to worry... that the he (the shipper) would pack the 545 up... supposedly well.

Shipping is by "freight" and that typically will cost between $200 and $700, depending on where it is going and if the buyer wants door to door service or pick up at terminal service. The freight is

I do the same thing, it's just odd that it only has the opening bid. Maybe something to do with the shipping... Vince. -- K8ZW http://www.metalworkingfun.com http://www.hamradio.fun

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

There's a Tek 576 Curve Tracer on ebay with just under 2 hours left. This thing looks like someone's gonna get it for the opening bid of about $100. Item # 254726651456 Vince. -- K8ZW

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

Floppy drives, 5 inch LCD monitor, old PC case brackets, useless electronics parts like 30 year old MMICs... Junk. Montreal.

Hey Roger, I'd like to amend my statement here, as I'm likely wrong about this as far as concerns your scope. I've just downloaded the TDS NVRAM saver application from this EEVBlog

Whether it was "easy" to develop these applications largely depends on the API the scope exposes, the documentation provided and the development environment. Did it give you some way to debug your

On my end it shows 120$ US for the shipping. Unless the bubble wrap is the size of a zeppelin, that's a bit on the high side I think. Must be the eBay automatic shipping calculator that's a bit

Hi there, I'm new here in this group, but I'm Tek user (and have to say hooked on their scopes) for quite a while now. Few days ago I acquired 485 in a pretty good mechanical shape, but only

I would be on-board with wanting the software as well. More interestingly I wonder what 3rd party application were made? It's just Java so development would have been easy.

Hi Tam, To be fair, I only gave you that price as I was repairing your acquisition board for memory failures. There's no way I could do the repair for that price if that were all I was doing... Thanks

Many decades ago I heard the, probably apocryphal, tale that a manufacturer of aquariums did just that, on the principal that the shippers would not want to clean up broken glass. 35 years ago I did

Why is the shipping wrong?  The seller will probably put them in a layer of bubble wrap and ship them in a fixed rate padded envelope; that's about $7.75. The extender looks like the one I
