There wasn't much wiggle room towards the back or front of the scope in the packaging, so my guess is they pre-pressed the foam over the knobs. I can't help but wonder if they would have bothered to do so had I not asked.
I'll go with 'Probably Not' for $400, Alex...

I just got one of my Kickstarter "rewards", an Nscope. It is a small PC board that plugs into the end of a standard plug-in "breadboard" It connects to your computer via USB and provides + and -5V to the breadboard power rails. It is a signal generator for a couple of channels, and a 4-channel oscilloscope. With open-source API so you can code your own interface, etc. Pretty cool, IMHO. I can't wait to play with it when I get home from work tomorrow.

Very nice. Compact and useful, it seems.
Please let us know what you think of it.

4 channels of input is nice. Too bad bandwidth is not higher. Still, looks very useful. Software quality will be key.
You can use sampling to increase the bandwidth even if it's cheating a bit
Racal Dana 1992 Universal Counter. Looks like it's one of the military contract models with high-stability OCXO (option 04E).
I'll know for sure when it arrives and I "take it apaaart". It probably also needs a recapping.

From 5300 miles away and two weeks later my silicone cable from Antex arrived!!!
'nother scope:
Arrived yesterday. Loving it so far.
Wera socket set, trolley jack, axle stands, stinking great big can of WD40, full set of brake discs and pads for my Fiat. Cheaper to buy the tools and do it myself than all the local garages. Plus now I own lots of nice tools
Components:
Resistors, capacitors, inductors, and diodes. Some jumper wires as well. More when my next paycheck arrives.

An fleabay purchase marked as a HP5253B and doesn't power on. I got the 5245L as well and with one fuse later it lives!
Some work on those BNC, using robrenz's techniques, a bit of panel cleaning, one loose capacitor (the bakelite base cracked- don't make them like they used to) and hopefully it will look pretty good.

That HP5245L is a thing of beauty.
That R&S scope looks like an awesome unit. I wonder what it set you back?
Buy a plug-in, get a free frequency counter to hold it. Sweet!

NTS-200 time server! works. I'm locked out tho, and cant find a null modem cable (so I got one coming from amazon) for good old rs232.
if I can get into the console I can reset whatever needs resetting...
Works like a charm, got 4 satellites tracked. now I need to figure how I'm going to run the cable to the outside :/ doh!

We have a similar device. The antenna went through a hole literally straight up from the machine room and through the subroof and roof. Bathroom caulking was used to seal it up. No leaks (yet)
My Pomona 6341 probes just arrived. Wow, I could open a Tattoo Studio with the points on the end of these!
My DER EE DE-5000 LCR meter also arrived yesterday, having spent the last five weeks relaxing in the local Customs clearance office.
