I too had to draw the line somewhere, and it was also with the portables.? Somewhere north of 80, with no 2xxx or 4xx scopes.??
I almost bought a 535(I think) plus cart, CA, 1L10 and 1S2 for $35 at an estate sale a month ago, but another guy bought it out from under me (almost literally!- I was going to buy it, but noticed that the right cover was lifted and a tube was missing.? I was in the process of pulling the panel to see if it had been completely harvested, when the guy told the seller right behind me that he'd take the whole thing.? He just spoke before I thought to, and I didn't feel like arguing.)? ?He turned around the 1L10 and 1S2 on ebay for $199.99 about 3 weeks ago.? I got a nice 1L5, W, O and 1A6 from the same sale.? The former owner was a ham and experimented with TV, but his garage must have been regularly damp because much of the hardware has developed the white "fuzz".??
The type W is labeled as being "modified for station B".? It's not clear what that means; I initially thought that the B input had been routed to the A channel, but I don't see any evidence of that.? I have so many projects, it could be quite a while before I "get round tuit"

What Craig,? no 24**'s ??
Got to draw the line somewhere. My long-suffering wife already points out that there is a fine
dividing line between collecting and restoring Tek gear and mental illness ;-)
Oh - almost forgot my "handbag" scope - a lightweight four channel 60MHz Tek 2004B. My only real foray
into digital storage oscilloscopes (other than the 7854 and 7912HB that is)
