I have for  sale my TDS7104 scope.

It works very well.

Jitter options and power measurements was very usefull.
I did not use other options, but some of them are enabled and installed.
I don't need this scope longer.

It is also much more reliable. Please see last two photos.

And an asking price!

If there is no price, doesn't that mean it's free?

Probably so that noone can swap-steal working ACQ-board or so and return the now broken instrument. Wise idea, I'd do the same.
 Unfortunately, TDS7104 and especially TDS7054 are the crippled versions of the TDS7000 series, good TDS7000s are 7154/7254/7404.

It is listed on ebay.co.uk with photos
Price to be negotiable.
I agree, 7154 and higher models are better,
but 7104 is the last one which don't need TCA adapter.

I wouldn't call a 10Gs 4ch 1Ghz scope with digital phospor technology, SSD disk, and all those options, crippled at all. I'd buy this reputable scope from Tek anytime before the new rigol DS7000 which starts at $2500 even if it was hackable to 500Mhz.

That can be countered by noting and photographing all serial numbers. Also some good 'warranty void' stickers will help. I'd never sell a scope like this in 'for parts' condition. It takes too much away from the value. Buyers will want some kind of warranty especially from a seller with a low number of sales. What also doesn't help is that this oscilloscope is not original so it may not be possible to have it serviced by Tektronix if necessary.

It is reasonable price.
I have two of these and if they weren't so slow to boot up I would have them on main bench.
I upgraded CPU Board memory and it seemed quicker?
Maybe.
I like that FRAM idea.
Did you upgrade the PowerPC board Ram?

Hi,
Selling on ebay is not my main buisness.
The scope I'm selling was refurbished for my personal purposes,
I was not intend to sell it.
Now I have access to well equiped lab, so I don't need it longer.
This is quite old scope, so Tektronix maintenace programme is closed for this model.
Tektronix is no longer repairing this kind of scope, I think, so Tektronix service is worth nothing.
I agree, SSD drive did not make a big difference in speed, it is similar to good HDD,
but much faster then original old 6GB travelstar HDD, especially with Windows 2000.
Anyway, it is faster then original, because of more RAM and faster CPU.
I have added more memory to PPC board also, but I don't think the scope is using it.

In Europe it is hard to find this scope in good condition for sale, in USA there are more offers.

Now I have stopped the auction, because I have some measurements to do
I can make with this scope only.
Maybe I will relist it in few weeks.
