[net.analog] used scopes

lagasse@biomed.UUCP (Robert C. Lagasse) (08/07/85)

   Does anyone know of any surplus houses that do a volume business in used
scopes?  I am looking for a used portable (battery & AC), dual trace, 15 mHz
minimum, such as the Tektronix 422 (circa 1968 a.d.) in halfway decent shape
at a bargain price.  I have tried the local surplus places but all they have
are big moosy boat anchors ( 1 mHz, rack mount, 300 lbs. ) or, one year old
500 mHz , digital storage, triple trace at big bucks.  Thank You much.

The first place I would look for used test equipment is:

Tucker Electronics Co.
Box 461966                    1717 Reserve Street
Garland, TX 75046             Garland, TX 75042   (street address)

800-527-4642 or 214-348-8800
Telex 79-1726   Easy/Link 62812862 (What is that?)

They put out a big yearly catalog and a number of smaller supplements,
which are handy as reference works in themselves. Give them a call and
get on their mailing list. They also advertise that they have a "vast
inventory" of reasonably-priced operating and service manuals for test
equipment.

There is another place called "Lectronic Research Labs" -- I think it is
in Philadelphia, but that is a wild-eyed guess. I don't have any of
their catalogs here at work; they come out with a monthly (or so) flyer.
I don't recall getting any recently, though, which might mean just that
I was dropped from the list, or that they aren't there any more. Anyone
else on the list know details about them?

Another source are the big equipment rental houses -- they all sell used
gear, and often print up special sale catalogs.
