I apologise for the obvious offence my ignorance and poor spelling
has caused.

Christian,

Don't be daunted.

I am also pretty new to this list ( and the sister list for manuals ).
But I found some very nice and helpful people here.

Do not you have any sense of humor? That is much worse offence then miss
spelling. Do not take a cue from Craig, his feathers get ruffled too easily.

Pardon my curiosity, but with a name like yours I had to ask: are you a
resident of Pitcairn Island, by any chance?

too easily.

Not at all - it just sticks right in my craw to see others ridiculed in
front of 1000 strangers, smiley or no smiley.

And in answer to Fred's comment - in response to Christian's original post,
I sent him an off-list reply immediately his query hit the list.

OK, if you haven't caught on to this tip yet:

I have a favorite eBay search for (Techtronics, Tektronics,
Techtronix). These listings tend to go for less, since a lot of
potential buyers fail to search for mispellings. ;)

-Howard
P.S. They also forget to search for misspellings. :)

I did not bid against you, but not for lack of want, it was a lack of
opportunity.

I used to have a standard eBay search that included a lot of the common
mistakes. Here's 20 to get y'all started:

In the movie, "Diamonds Are Forever" they have a company called "Tectronics". I believe I have it spelled the way they have it in the movie. I'm to lazy to pull out all my James Bond movies (and I have ALL of them!). They have a nice 500 series Tektronix scope in Dr No. They have the infamous Telequipment S51B in both Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice. And they have either a 453 or 454 on the boat that is NOT a chase boat in "You Only Live Twice".

They also have S51B in most of the Gerry Anderson series like "Thunderbirds", There's a nice close up of a 54? (I think it's a 547 or 545) in the opening sequence of Journey to the Far Side Of The Sun. The Real McCoy has a nice 200 series (221?) and I forgot the name of the movie from the early 80's with a girl electronics engineer and her airplane flying boyfriend. In the car outside the lab they had a spectrum analyzer and a Tek scope in their car (Prime Risk seems to come to mind as the title, though it was a "B" picture. And Dark Angel has an RM503 that gets smashed to pieces at the end of the second season (so sad! I use to have 3 RM503's and 2 503's). I wouldn't be surprised if Tek was in Irwin Allen's stuff or the original "Mission Impossible" with Barney Collier. I always drooled at all the gadgets he would pull out each week. There are many more oscilloscopes in TV and Movie land. The Oscilloscope always makes it own statement in a show.

There is actually a real company which spells the name just like
Christian initially did. It's in UK and deals with home electronics.

Yes it is worth doing because I tried just one mispelling and found a
scope. Here's the link:

Don't forget "Textronics". When you've worked in a Tek Service
Center receiving incoming equipment for repair, you've seen every
possible way of spelling it.
