Can anyone tell me about this?

[C-pher]

I was given this Oscilloscope and wondered if anyone knew about it...or how much it might be worth?

PM Skysoldier. Kim knows all about that stuff. I'm sure there's plenty of others, too, but he was the first I thought of.

It's an old unit, there may be companies that buy this kind of stuff. The new digital units have largely replaced these type of scopes.

There's a similar unit on eBay - Vintage Eico 460 DC Wide Band Oscilloscope Analog Scope Serial 72633 Clean USA | eBay

It's commonly referred to today as a "Boat Anchor!"

Probably made from a Kit back in the early 60's. There were a lot of correspondence courses in electronics back then, and if you enrolled they sent you a soldering iron, tools, and kits like this.

I know, because I signed up for one of those courses....I think it was DeVry Tech....came with an EICO kit to build a VTVM, and an Oscilloscope.

I don't recommend plugging it in.......because some of the old wax capacitors inside have aged....and you might see smoke and flames!

But hey, who am I to tell you what to do.

And, unless your are a trained Oscilloscopologist.......and understand the science of Oscilloscopology.....it is worthless to you anyway!

I'll give ya 5 bucks for it!

I like the intensity and focus adjustments. Exactly what I need.

There are guys who buy old electronics like this, buy I think they pay by the pound.

There may be vacuum tubes in there that have value. Check the tube forum at audiokarma, and BAMA, the boat anchor manual archive.

Does someone want it? If someone wants to make an offer, I'll let it go.
