Tom I thought it was a Hoot and Read all the comments , I have had my entertainment for today   HI .    I had a lot to  do with all models of the 500 series Tec  and plus these old hp  models ,I remember the 50KHz Osc for the EHT had grid leak biasing and the tube used to Glow red when the Bypass cap used to fail and allow the 50khz to wander all over the Chassis  there was a 50mfd electro that used to go in them , I also remember  HP524a   Counters with the vertical rows of neon's before the advent of digital readouts , and bcd decoders , they were full to the brim  with FORESTS of 5687 s from memory , I remember when we took delivery of our first Motorola  digital counter ,with a DIGITAL READOUT about 1965 I think , I still have 3 HP5245/5248 counters with all the plug ins to 12GHz   they were an industry standard for about 25 years in Australia  , and they still perform admirably , But this Guy sure has an inflated idea of the value of his Junk .... I looked at the electric Hoist , although he states its hardly used , TO ME It HAS THAT LIVED IN LOOK .   I think he s some sort of dealer when you see his other sales , BUT CERTAINLY AN OPTIMIST OF THE FIRST ORDER.
