Just won a Tektronix 7613 mainframe with a timebase and amplifier plugin (missing several knobs and latch with model numbers) for under $29USD INCLUDING SHIPPING!. Paid $5.50 for the unit itself. It's about 12 hours north of me and shipping via FedEx - from a seller I have experience with - so I expect to have it by the end of the week.

I guess I just lucked out!! It started at $0.99 and there was only one other bidder who put $5.00 on it. I put a $40.00 max bid on it before I left for work and fully expected to lose it.... but once I got home and checked on it....... POOF! Mine for $5.50!
It's apparent that the timebase plugin is in the wrong slot which may (or may not) be the reason for the wacked out display. I have all of the replacement knobs already lying around, too. First things first though - it's going to get a thorough cleaning, visual check, capacitor check, and component reseating before I even attempt to power it on.

The pull tabs are gone
Be careful taking those out. I did use needle pliers to unlock them but it is tricky to do.
Not too tricky but don't force them out.
I got one for $50 but that included also a 5110, they were in pretty bad shape both of them but a bargain nethertheless
Did you have to do anything other than clean them up? I am already looking for some plugins - both working and also some extra cheap units for the mechanical parts. If you have a thread for their repairs (if you did any) please link it in for me.
Thanks for the heads up about the pull tabs... I will start looking into what the best way to remove and temporarily repair them are in case I don't have replacement pull tabs in time.

NI PCIe-6251 + NI PCI-GPIB and ADLINK PCI-7432 together for 100eur
cordless drill/screwdriver:
bosch gsr 10,8-2-li Professional, "set 2" comes with metal drills 2-8mm, wood drills 3-10mm, a 25pcs bit-set (straight, phillips, allen, torx), and a cute bag.
not something for building a house, but I hope it will be OK for small jobs in a city apartment.
didn't do much market research - the shop didn't have any Makita in stock so I went with this Bosch...
