Does anyone have any idea, statistically, of how many scopes die from
beginners trying to repair them verses those that die to tube harvesters or
relatives who have no interest in "Bob's" old scopes who send them to the
recycler?
Thanks Chuck, Jamie, Larry and others for your posts on this.
As a relative "beginner" in scope repair I could not say enough good
things about the encouragement and wisdom available in this mailing list
from those with great experience.
Last week I brought a 602 XY back to life with some trivial repairs.
Gaining confidence for another more challenging 602 on the bench now.
And a few more Teks waiting.
I often skim threads like the 475 thread for hints and warnings I can
use. I feel very lucky to have this list as a resource. Keep it up!

Anyway, help every newb you can. If they want to try their hand, the
answer is NEVER "let someone else do it". They're gonna do it wrong. Just
as wrong as you and I used to do stuff. The sooner they learn to do it
right, the sooner everything gets better.
