A picture saves a thousand words, or so it's said... just wondering about this E-Bay seller, from Israel;
I'm puzzled about the duff equipment this seller seems to sell, typical example below:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wavetek-271-Digital-Programmable-Pulse-Function-Signal-Generator-/150945889024?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2325137b00
many people or out of business or retired companies throw in the trash old equipment, recyclers sell it to electronic collectors & resellers, and they resell it again.
haven´ t heard, some ones trash is someones else treasure?
in my country there is a whole shopping mall of vintage electronics + a museum filled with old stuff, mostly unknown equipment, or not the ones i want,
crazy stuff i´ve seen there, from Geiger counters to x-ray tubes, to am radio frequency generators, photo cameras, video & film, vintage oscilloscopes, damaged ramsa consoles, reel to reel stuff mostly sony, hp generators, etc...
it was aired in some tv show/chapter in Discovery Channel or NatGeo can´t remember.
i´ve seen trash quality imacon 848 on ebay for $4000usd., like new ones sell for $6000usd., did it sold? i guess not.
