[GONE] FREE for the taking, Tektronix 475A. pick-up only in MA USA
« on: September 14, 2017, 07:29:48 pm »
Picked this up today along with a TDS754A that needs repair, both units were free! :-+

First one to ask in this thread gets the 475A. Powered on only, I'm not going to test it for you too. ;) Nice bright sharp traces (note where the intensity setting is). Comes with the P6106 probes as well, though one of them seems a bit flakey when you wiggle the BNC end.

Pick up only, about 20 miles south of Worcester MA USA.
Good luck!

Edit: forgot the damn pics!

EDIT2: Please. I don't want to see this end up on Ebay. I will only give it to someone that will USE or NEEDS it.

I am wondering why I live in the UK at this moment in time. Good luck to whoever gets it :)

Is there a local Hackspace or Makerspace?

No, I'm not going to give my 475+DM44 to my local Hackspace - they already have too many scopes :)
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.

Let me know if you ever want rid of it. I don't have enough scopes yet ;)

I would like this scope, please.  I have a few other scopes, but they are non-functional.  The 475A will help me make headway on my repair queue.  Should it become surplus to me, I will pass it on to someone else who can use it.

I'm about 50 miles away, so could readily pick it up.

Thanks!
