Test Equipment: Oscillocopes

Good find, sounds like you got a good deal. Unfortunately it does not have Ratio A/B, but it does have Period and Totalizer functions.

Here's what it looks like inside:

Wow, nice!  I think mine came from that exact same lot! haha  It's from Talahassee FL Goodwill and I paid $70. It wasn't listed as "for parts.." though. However it did say "used - power tested - no further testing" - which was the status of the FG I bought from them of the same Tek line.  It seems they also think that they came from a school of some sort over there at EEV.

The CMC251 made it here in one piece via USPS this morning - 3 days early.     They did MASH the corner of the box, but thankfully it was correctly packaged so it didn't harm the gear.  It's in the condition I expected - the same as the CFG253 - working, no signs of actual use, and just a little discoloration on top of a few buttons (from storing).

TK - I see that your scope FINALLY made an appearance!   Congrats!    I hope your blood pressure stabilized finally!    Also hope that it works 100% no issues at all this time..    It sounds to me like UPS in your area just does not give a rats arse about customers... I'd be calling the BBB and also getting on the UPS website and opening several cases/filing complaints!  MAYBE corporate will get on your local center over it and fire that P-O-S driver!!   

But anyway, I'm looking forward to some vids!
