[NCARC] Free O-scope ... old and tired

A couple of years ago I answered a Fort Collins area advertisement on
the internet.  The guy gave me a couple of old oscilloscopes.  Both
worked!

One is already long gone, and I still have one.  I have been using it
to sample my signal on my AM transmitter before it goes over the air.

The screen is a little dim, and it is only a 20 Mhz scope.  So,
it is useful maybe for a little signal monitoring on 80-20 meters.
The fan on the back is a little loud.  This scope is a mix of
solid state and vacuum tube technology.   I have a manual for it.

It is an HP 140A scope with dual trace.

And it's yours for free if you want to arrange to meet me somewhere
and pick it up.    I cannot claim that it all works beautifully 
or that it even will work at all.

p.s.  My better scope has been superceeded and will move into the
signal-sampling position.  So yes, I will still be monitoring my
signal.
