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.

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

One must be "Keeping Up Appearances" with the traditional English garden. :P :-DD

What is this garr-duh-ninng of which you speak? :-DD
I was raised on a farm; we didn't even mow the front yard until the grass was tall enough to tedd it and bale it up. My "lawn mower" was a Case 380 diesel tractor (David Brown 885 for you biscuits & tea folk) and an 8-foot Bush Hog. The notion of cultivating plants for fun is as alien to me as supply-side economics. :P
I tend to stick to this ethic even as I've moved to the suburbs; well, right up to the point at which the Home-pwners Ass-holciation sends someone to complain. Then a proud demonstration of power sharpening, chopping and digging tools presented with a couple "Long-Island Iced Teas" makes short work of said complaints until I get around to hacking the verge down again. ;)

It takes considerable skill to make showing off a pressure washer feel menacing; one I've polished over many years. >:D

I want one. Would work wonders in the supermarket car park.

That's right, boyzz and ghoulzz... just when you thought they'd FINALLY driven a stake through its crusty dust-filled heart, the undead creature that is Radio Shack returns yet AGAIN with a Clearance Sale eMail!
Free shipping for orders $19 & up!
Highlights: All sorts of adapters for cheap; including BNC, SMA and PL-259 couplers, some cheap 4K HDMI cables, and decent high-capacity NiMH batteries (if they're still made by SAFT) semi-cheap, including a CR-V3 Rechargeable for $4 for you die-hard photography buffs. Hopefully they won't be so old they can't hold a charge.
You can scavenge off the corpse of Tandy here. They have no shame; why should you?

So... it's essentially a diesel-powered self-propelled boulder then? :o
