[Elecraft] It can be done!

Hi

Looks like you are well on your way to a good electronic bench. The 465 w=
as the workhorse of the electronics for many years until the 2465 took it=
s place. I guess some of the digital scopes are the mainstay now. I still=
 like knobs on scopes not buttons like the digital stuff. I have a Tek TH=
S-720 digital scope but I prefer my 475 (the 475 is like the 465 except 2=
00 MHz) unless I have to carry it somewhere. The digital weighs about 2 p=
ounds. If the CRT is in good shape the 465 will give you very good servic=
e and the price is right ;-)

Hi folks - I received a lot of replies from good folks when I went
shopping for an oscillscope on a small budget. I wanted to let all know
that I received my Tektronics 465M today via Ebay which I paid about
$130 for. An engineering friend helped me check it out and it works
perfectly. So I just wanted you budding experimenters on a low budget to
know that it can be done. A function generator is now on the way from a
VERY reliable ebay source - it ran about $175 and can take care of most
needs. Just thought I would share this with those who might be
interested. 73/Tim Logan NZ7C
