Welcome to TekScopes
Michael Dunn <mdd@...>
G'day... :)
(I'm sending this to the group as well as direct to you, Michael...) Sometime on Mon, 25 Sep 2000, you wrote: Hmmm, it took me a while to figure out what my email program wasWell, for a while there I was wondering why my email program was sending me a copy of a message I had sent to someone else... The odds must be incredible. And further to stretch things, I have a very good email friend in Sudbury, Ontario, whom I've been corresponding with for many years now. - about the *only* person I regularly correspond with... :) I wonder how far Sudbury is from you...? The more, the merrier.Good... :) As I may have mentioned, the only Tek gear I have is an old TM503 with a DM501A and three custom plugin kits... :) I have uses planned for all those, for Ham Radio test gear. The DMM was faulty, but fortunately it came with manuals and I was able to repair it. :) Sounds like a good place to have been.It was *very* good. Conditions were excellent, as were the tools and equipment (natch). We were, as I remember then, "committed to technical excellence." I certainly believed so, and (I hope) my work reflected that. I lucked out a while ago, getting a 7603(13?) in good condition,Wow! Over here, that's about $400, but allowing for the generally lower commodity prices in the US (about half) I guess I'm getting a good deal at around $600. That's with the 7B53A, and I like a mixed sweep... :) It apparently comes with two 7A26's as well. I'll be very happy if I can arrange it. Even better, a friend and I have been cleaning out the local university'sI bet! :) I understand such things *have* happened here, but you have to be *very* lucky... BTW, I wonder if there are any other Aussies on this list...? Also BTW, I recently came across a site called "Bill & Stan's TEKTRONIX resource site". They have reprinted some of the cartoons from the old service manuals. That was a real "blast from the past" for me. <g> Kind regards to all, :) Michael -- Michael VK2XMD 0404-478-205 http://members.dingoblue.net.au/~mdd/ I used to have a handle on life, but it broke ...
