To be fair that one has been annoying me as well. I shall do this in future.

Back on TEA. I find it terribly annoying when you win an auction, drop the seller a message and then bugger all happens for ages :(

SWMBO was not amused when I showed her a concrete web site :D

Did you pay immediately? That tends to improve most sellers' response time; unless of course your message is regarding something that's holding up payment, like combined or international shipping.

I've found that often seems to encourage them to ignore you in hopes you'll go away and they can resell to someone who's slightly less troublesome.  :-\

Especially if you bought an item at a substantially bargain price.  >:(

It was the inevitable "when can I give you money and take this crap away, preferably this evening" email.

Here's what I got. Multiplier is toast on the second one but there's the horizontal calibration fixture in there which is rare as hen's teeth. I know someone who I can pry a vertical one off (and possibly another mainframe) :D



Same tube as the Tek 7603 but rest is lower spec 50MHz mainframes. They do have some interesting features and are much sharper than the 7603s are. Also no custom ICs at all.

Horizontal has sweep out on the front which is going in the front of my SA VCO.

I think you answered your own question... seller found out the fixture isn't just random junk.  ::)

Sufficiently advanced satire is indistinguishable from reality.
