Ah yes, there is that: If I fire up the forklift,
and take these scopes down from the pallet racks,
unwrap their protective shrink wrap from the pallet,
stand them up individually, and shoot pictures, and
then re stack them and re wrap them with shrink wrap,
start up the forklift, and put them back up on the
pallet racks, I will have spent about 4 hours more
and made my back sore, all on the promise that one
or two of these scopes will receive more than a
scrap value offer.

In the world of historical "treasures", there are
always two groups: Those that value the "treasure"
for some purpose, buy it, and do what they will with
their stuff, and those that cast scorn on the owners
of the "treasure" for desecrating the treasure, but
then put up none of their own money.

Those of us who are invested in military vehicles
and warplanes have seen this play out time and again...

I really can't afford to be the museum for these very
valuable pieces of art. I have all I need in my own
shop.

These are going to have to be scrapped unless we can
come up with a better plan than my giving them away,
or owning them for the future generations.

Thus far, the prices on Tektronix scopes have followed
a precipitous decline from their factory new prices.
I have seen none, regardless of condition, that trade
for more than the inflation adjusted factory price,
and none that trade for more than the original factory
price, save for the occasional 570 vacuum tube curve
tracer.

Perhaps there are too many examples of these scopes?
