Last August I purchased a 585A, mainly because I couldn't resist. I've used 
it exactly twice, and would like to sell it for what I paid, which was 
$100. I'll paste the seller's description, which I found accurate to the 
extent that I actually used any of the add-ons, below my name. (He did not 
include 7 probes, however; when I came to pick up the scope a couple of 
them didn't work. I'll include what he did provide.) The manual that came 
with it was for a 585, but I found an original manual for the A model and 
will include that. The seller also threw in a Tek 107 square wave 
generator, operating condition unknown, minus power cord and manual. I'll 
include that, too.

Local pickup ONLY. I'm in a Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C.

Feel free to call me at 202-955-2609 office, 301-983-2407 home. Warning: 
I'm not a scope guru and can only answer the most basic questions, e.g., is 
there a trace? (Yes.)

Original seller's description:
I have a rather nice, albeit vintage, Tek 585A 100mhz scope with an 82A
dual-trace plug-in.  Both of these units work perfectly and are in
remarkably nice condition.  I have the books and an excellent 500/53A
scope mobile cart to go with it. There are about 7 probes (all good)
included.   Additionally, I'll add a CA and Z plug in, and a Type 81
plug-in adapter.  The latter are un-tested but appear fine.
