Hi all,
I'm looking for a bit of realistic perspective here.? A maybe 8 months back I had purchased some Tek stuff from the 'friend' of a widow (later realized he was a weasel).? I didn't do a close inspection of everything (just the stuff I was specifically interested in) so when I got the lot home, I discovered much to my disappointment that the 7834 had no CRT in the scope.? At the time it had been covered by a Tek Scopecamera and the glass of the bezel mounted to the scope was just dirty enough that I thought there was a tube in there.? Since this discovery, the mainframe has just been sitting because I'm not sure what to do with it.
I have a 7603 that I use with several plugins, and there was 7904 in the lot, so I don't really need a 7834.
I'm not particularly excited by the idea of trying to find a tube for this scope, installing it, and sorting out what ever other things come with installing a new CRT.? And I cannot imagine that this will be a $100 project either.? So I just don't know what to do with it.? Do I take it to a local hamfest (there is one next weekend that I'm planning to go to) where I assume it will sell for a paltry sum (my wife thinks $10, I think $5), or is there enough of a chance that others need parts that endeavor to part this beast out over the next year and do my part to help other 7834 owners keep their scopes running?
Thanks for any advice people would care to offer.
Cheers,
Grant
