That is generative AI at work. Not sure who would be liable, ebay or seller, if a dispute ever came to court.
Athe price is OK'sh for a pair of 8060As. I know the IBM ones seem to carry a premium in the USA. Never seen one in the UK before.

The seller would be responsible for whatever they put in their sales literature.
Similarly a car driver is responsible even if they have swallowed Tesla stories about full self driving (beta) cars.

From experience I know not to buy something that looks a dogs dinner just because of a name (unless the price is low), if I wanted an IBM one I would wait for a decent condition one to turn up, I've no problem importing stuff now, as I've started using shipito.
Here is what I think of flawed A.I. generated crap by ePay. >:D
P.S. I still haven't done anything with the Fluke 8050A that I took the Ni-Cruds out of, I was told the display was bad by the previous owner.

P.S. Maybe you should sell it.

Alright, I need some serious input on this one :-BROKE

Tek MSO46. Looks like it was dragged behind a car and hit in the front and rear by a jealous Ex that listened to too much Carrie Underwood :box:
I threw in my offer and in a short amount of time it was declined. $500 USD is dang generous for an instrument in this shape. :-DD
After looking over the Tek service manual, I think there's a chance it might be fixable. Sadly, looking through Tektronix service documentation, nearly every part is not available for purchase and requires the scope to be sent in. I don't see how an LCD replacement requires virgin cotton white-glove tektronix approved repair. ::)
The rear set of ports is on a daughter board and the rear does not look that deformed near the high density amphenol / samtec connector. There's a good chance it's just the rear external trigger BNC's are damaged. The front BNCs may bend back into shape with some tender love and care.
I sure would give it a good home. ^-^
TERRA Operative:
With that amount of impact damage, I'd be worried about internal damage to the PCB's and board-board connectors and such.
