Is the price right?

Miti:
A colleague wants to sell these three instruments. He wants $300 for the scope, $200 for the multimeter and $50 for the generator, all canadian dollars so the equivalent of about $410US. I found the following issues:
HP34401 some cracks in the front panel glass and some of the segments are a bit dim. Functionally seems to be ok.
TEK3012B - already hacked to 3052B the clock stops when the power is turned off, maybe the battery is dead.
Wavetek the sine wave is a bit distorted at high frequencies.

Would you pay this amount?
Do I need them? No.
Do I want them? Yees! Except for the generator.

Cheers,
Miti

Smokey:
Scope only has like 14kpoints.  That sucks now, but other than that it's ok (I used to use one of these).  I'd say ya it's worth $300 if you don't already have a scope. 
Ebay Sold Listings Says: $300 to $700

Meter:  Another 6 1/2 digit meter?  Yes Please.
Ebay Sold Listings Says: $250 to $600

Pass on function gen.

coromonadalix:
the meter could have the unobtanium  display ic,  the serial number is a give away   .... could be the vfd or the driver ic

the tds3k series can be hacked ....

Miti:
Thanks,
I have three scopes, a Rigol DS1054Z, a Tek TDS210 and a Tek 2445B but no one goes to 500MHz…  ;D
The VFD on the 34401 is worse than I thought. Please see below. Is there a cheap source for this VFD?

As I said, I already hacked the scope. What’s with the display IC and the serial number?
