What a find! Well done. I wish I had friends like this lol
Lucky son of a bitch!
Wow! The scope of that haul is amazing.
Man. I’d settle for one of these LOL
Damn, a friggin’ goldmine.
That’s amazing, congratulations!
What are those two long things under the projector?
Great stuff! I have the exact same Tektronix scope as in the lower left corner, I use it almost every day. It has a sticker on it that says it’s due for calibration in September 1988, guess it’s a bit overdue 😂
Clicking on your image (https://i.redd.it/3ris55zap2hb1.jpg) takes me to an 11 year old post from /r/funny https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/media/nice_hat/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F3ris55zap2hb1.jpg
Wow. That power supply near bottom left looks modern. WTF. And whatever that analyzer at center bottom is, has got to be still worth something. I bet we could even give the analog scopes away to our engineering students.
It amazes me what people throw out. Thank you (and your friend) for saving these treasures.
If the HP ‘scope (left row, 2nd from bottom) works, save a screenshot as filename ROCK_ON and it will launch an Easter-egg game of Asteroids.
Turbo jealousy activated.
Yes please I do wish to save
Holy +charged Jesus! That’s a swell catch… scopes on scopes!
Careful. I have a friend who ended up with a stack of vintage analog oscilloscopes. Throwing them out would of course be unthinkable, so he has to cart them around from apartment to apartment. He’s cursed to lose one closet to these things in every place he lives for the rest of his life.
*heavy breathing*
just be carefully, I know someone that got arrested/fired for giving away old lab equipment from a very large company. Seems that some managers make decisions they are not really aloud to make, like giving away leased equipment that is supposed to be retuned to the leaser. The problem is they all have Serial numbers and can be traced for years to come.
If I recall correctly it was a Mass Spec that got them into the trouble and it ballooned from that.
can i has one?
I assume “skip” means garbage somehow, but what is a skip
You know you struck gold when you have to take a *panoramic* photo of all the loot
You lucky bastard…
The one on the bottom left looks almost identical to my first ever scope that I bought at a second-hand store.
Just one year later I bought a portable Fluke ScopeMeter, I think it was the 120B one and I still have it and even use it every once in a while.
It’s kinda fun using it nowadays since it has an optical port on the side that you can plug a IR-to-Serial cable into, I never had the software to use that functionality though.
Just open that portal already! 🙂
Test them all and sell what you don’t want to keep on eBay. I build tube audio amps and use ‘scopes snd signal generators and bench multimeters daily- nice haul!
Soooo jealous
Been there, done that. I have a dozen Soviet devices at home — got half of them the same way.
