So... when you do giveaway?Please read. He is selling them inside Australia, keeping the occasional item for himself. Score as it was, those items weren't cheap. So no giveaway.
Also, what are this golden pads around the BNC in the Tektronix?
Dave, can you explain more this Low Voltage Ohm meter you showed in the DMM916?
TDS220 obsolete?
Obsolete yes, but still very useful. I still use my TDS210 all the time over my Rigol 4000 series. Like Dave said, no fan, completely silent, a pleasure to use when appropriate!
Yeah.. I know. Kinda hurts to see 100% working DPO3054 to be declared to be obsolete. No wonder Armies need such huge budgets..
...
BTW, why they would sell the gears with all the labels with the ID/names/etc. on? Aren't these supposed to be kind for internal use only?
Im afraid it wont end well (financially) for Dave. Those "sales" end up being bought by suckers and people specializing in providing legacy support/equipment = they pay premium. It will take ages to sell all this old crap while it takes shelve space and is frozen capital.

In an auction the price is always fair because it's open bidding.

Oh how wrong you are
I highly recommend everyone listens to the whole thing.
A sucker is a guy buying this because he thinks its 'vintage' there are people that will buy older stuff, be it cars, radios, clothes, just for the sentimental value. Some stuff can be superior, but as soon as its 'vintage' you will get suckers coming out of the wood work overpaying compared to modern superior products.

It's called a hobby.
I just bought a Sinclair C5 in crap condition. Apart from looking cool (IMO), it's a crap useless product, and absolute waste of money. But I always wanted one, so I got one.
If you don't have desire for vintage or nostalgic stuff, that's fine, but you can't go around saying that thing holds no value, because it does, to them, and many others.
Does anyone have the service manual for those Tek DMMs? Or at least the calibration instructions?
All items have precisely one value: what someone is willing to pay in order to own them.
