What to do with your old oscilloscope- part 2

Those look like new scopes to me. Anything made after 1970 is 'new' as far as I'm concerned. I'm still using my HP1740A with option H13 since 1982 to the present day. I have no intention of retiring that scope in trade for one of these pixellated 'digital' scopes. The trace resolution is horrid. How can you see a notch or a tiny spur riding on an audio amplifier's output with these? You can't! Sometimes older is better.

I'm curious now - if Agilent never really 'got' oscilloscopes in 20 years, will this change anything? Did they hire some Tek designers, after Danaher is cleaning up their empire?
I'm also in line for some of those planters. I'll swap your old scope for a planter of your choice. Except Agilent scopes, I'll keep the plants instead. :-)

So... you charge thousands for these pieces of equipment we buy them. You make them obsolete so we will buy new ones for thousands moredollars and this is the best you can do for uses for the equipment we spent THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR!!!!! I thought you were going to show me a real use for my old scope so I wouldn't feel so bad about spending THOUSANDS for a new one. Don't insult us.

That's a HP 54601A/B or 54602A/B, a 4 channel 100 or 150MHz oscilloscope. Those aren't even old! Granted, my HP 54111D and 1725A are faster, but much and much older.
I'll get in the line of people willing to help you get rid of the old scopes

Retire one in this direction! Some of us are still designing with analogue scopes!

wow. I really wish I could afford one of your scopes. They are so incredible. Would be sad to see any of them used this way LOL!
Yah, before people do this to their scopes, send one my way, i'll even pay shipping
