Is anyone interested in a Tek 453 oscilloscope?  It's missing one rubber foot, and has no probes.  Worked the last time I turned it on (today)  

I got this used in the early '90's and got a lot of good use out of it back in the surprisingly long window of time when digital oscilloscopes were a pain to use for debugging.  But that was a long time ago!  The probes are now with another scope.   The little filter in the back of the fan has disintegrated.  One rubber foot has apparently winked out of existence in this universe.

I don't want to ship it, it's about 25 pounds and there's a lot of socketed parts, although these were built pretty rugged for portable use by field technicians.  So it's free to the first person who speaks up and can meet me somewhere in Wilsonville to pick it up.  

An attempt at lissajous figure.. slightly offset frequencies to make it move.  

Happy New Year!
Alex
