My asking price includes 30 days guaranty. Offered specimen: serial B062834 with only 66 hours. Such hours are equivalent of about 2 weeks' use. Seems someone bought it and forgot to use it, and their loss can be your gain.
The Tek 2465B is a well designed 4 channel analog 400MHz bandwidth portable package, made from mid-1988 to mid-1996 that would be useful for decades to come. It was so loved by users that when Tek quit making them a used one would cost the same or more as Tek's new price. Iwatsu and LeCroy even came out with a "replacement" called the SS7840H and LA314H.
Costs only a tiny fraction of its $9,000 new price, yet for the foreseeable future, well maintained 2465Bs (last scopes Tek made to be component level repairable) by me, will still be serving their owners well, while many newer, less repairable scopes won't.
Will be shipped to you freshly calibrated, with instructions book pdf (I'll need your email to send it; ebay doesn't give it to me), power cord, top pouch, and blue face filter… READY TO USE !.
Please be sure to indicate to me if you plan to use it in a 230V country.
First photo shows 66 hours' use. 2nd shows 1microsecond tickmarks displayed accurately with cursers measuring the time interval between highlighted zones. 3rd shows same microsecond ticks in dual timebase mode with delayed running 10X faster than main. 4th & 5th photos show rise time capability on CHs 1 & 2 (of 1nS, it would be less than a nS if source rise time were faster). 6th & 7th show the bandwidth capability by comparing a 6MHz and a 470MHz signal at 2.5Vpp, the higher being the 3dB loss point defining upper BW 3.5cm vs 5 cm). 8th shows result of asking scope to auto-measure volts on a 2Vpp 1KHz signal on CH1. 9th shows same on CH2. 10th shows same signal by measuring curser spread. 11th shows passing all self-tests. 12th shows passing cal (test 04). Rest show exterior.
Last photo shows a scope on top of calibration sources needed to cal/verify such a scope; sellers who don't have such equipment are going out on a limb when they claim their scope functions correctly.
I choose to work on 2400s because they were the last repairable (to component level) scopes Tek made. 2400s are my specialty, so mine shall arrive working correctly, whether you're buying just 1 or several to outfit an entire lab or classroom. Others sell them because they need fixing, whether their sellers know it or not, I sell them after I've fixed them... and that is reflected in my higher prices (can't expect those selling for less to have had the 30 year old Li battery/NVRAM or any other failing parts replaced).
Please make sure Ebay has your current correct ship-to address before paying, as that is where I am required to ship. Mistakes are costly to fix after paying as I cannot offer cash refunds, so please go over details before paying. I ship worldwide. Ebay requires I ship with a carrier that provides tracking & delivery confirmation, which Airmail cannot provide internationally, so that rules Airmail out. FEDEX usually offers me the best alternatives.
Ebay as a large e-commerce site, now has to collect sales tax for many of the 50 States. I have no control over that, and I do not charge sales tax on my own out-of-California sales (I am small). If you are outside California and do not feel like paying the tax, buy some/any/thing cheap(er) from me first (eg: a probe) and a workaround will present itself.
DISCOUNT on subsequent items: I will offer you a 14% DISCOUNT on non-1st purchases. If you want the 14% discount on this item (pay $1032) buy any cheaper item from me first (eg: a probe, or even a spare fuse). This should also save you the state sales tax on the scope if you're outside my state (California). Once you buy a cheaper item first, let me know which scope you want and I'll enable the discount for you. Also, any cheaper first purchase allows us to exchange phone #s for live dialog q & a and email which I can use to send you the op book, specs,...
If you are outside USA, shipping by public Airmail is not available since it does not satisfy Ebay tracking and delivery confirmation requirements. We can use DHL, FEDEX, or UPS (Fedex usually gives me lowest rates). Also some foreign Ebay sites may skip some or all of my items, or add taxes that may be higher than they need to be, so it's best to look on US ebay.com regardless of where in the world you are. If you don't see shipping to your country, you can ask me for flying cost to your address.
LOCAL PICKUP INCENTIVE: if you come to me to pick up the scope, I will add a Tek scope cart FREE (carts are impractical to ship).
CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES: I have 2465Bs with higher hours listed for $930.
HURRY INCENTIVE: if you pay my asking price ($1200 BIN or $1032 as a 2nd purchase) today, I will send it with a Tek 10:1 400MHz probe FREE ($400 new @Tek).
