[Test-Equipment] Tek 585A scope, (3rd try)

[Jim Hill]

I would suggest posting your question on the Tektronix Yahoo 
group.  Also check completed auctions on eBay to see what Tek 500 
series scopes have actually sold for.  That would be your top dollar 
figure.  In the $100 and up category, I suggest you reform the 
electrolytics, turn it on and see if it works, and probably  clean 
rotary switch contacts.  I'm pretty sure you will need a working 
scope for that price range.  Also, consider the effort of packing the 
scope so the package can be dropped chest-high to a concrete surface 
and have the scope survive.  The other alternative is a local swap 
meet at a lower price.   I have seen a number of posts where the 
seller says he will put it on the curb, and if the prospective user 
can beat the trash man, he is welcome to it.
