Was hanging with the brother-in-law today and wanted to treat him to dinner, but the restaurant (http://www.mr-wok.com) was very busy so they pushed us back an addtional half hour when I called. What to do... what to do?
Go to Fry's!
Stopped in and was looking at the oscilloscopes and wishing as usual then looked over and saw 2 lonely scopes on the bottom shelf at the employee workstation and that made me curious. They were long discontinued, had no paperwork, and no accessories other than the front covers and power cords and they said the magic words "make us an offer".
They said an obcenely cheap price but one didn't boot so I said I'd take a gamble of Tektronix doing a warranty repair on one that I thought they stopped selling a while ago if they'd come down $200.
I walked out with a TDS3012B and a TDS3032B scope for a bit less than $1000 for the pair.
WOOHOO!
