5 MHz would likely do = Tek 305 same size as: a Tek 335, which is 35 MHz. Both weigh just over 10#, so UPS might be tolerable - where are ya? You'd just have to treat it nice - I've culled a few super clean 335s for long term. (No one will ever make stuff this good in any present, future Corp. Money + TLAs main 'product' now)

But 'time' I can't send. Can't hurt to just check PS volts at obvious points with DVM, or given your bizarre symptoms - Bill's easter egg might be it - if got good Karma. Now with a father experienced in this stuff - the physics and NTSC haven't er changed ;-)

Do sympathize re no schematic, though - still, PS checks might reveal all - with nose to find fried item?

Hey.. we gotta stop fillin up them landfills!

and that horrible idea: .net

above - I see sev. ways to interpret yours, as in ..iam_Ox... but not ..iam Ox.. but maybe --> ..iamOx..

I'll ponder on a mainly demo for kids, but best let me know what other use you might have in mind. BW goes from teeny handheld 500 KHz -- on up. Have some needing minor fixing, thus for rilly cheap. All good lab-grade Tek, some HP, no TV-tech type beaters. Even teeny 4 MHz w/ batts. Cute but jeweler-hands needed. Should see the gold plate in such as the 335 (a Sony-Tek venture in '70s).

(What's amazing and of course depressing too - the occasional near-mint super lab-grade 7000 series (plug-in mainframes + beaucoup speciallized plug-ins).. going for <10% of last new cost.) Indicates to me that we are losing that always small part of population - who even know what to do with such equipment. They don't build kits; dunno how most stuff works.. and don't wanna know. They buy. Then toss, all unCurious.

Supply/demand in a dumth-increasing, MBA PHB culture - focussed exclusively on boring bizness. Our techno must soon reflect this absence of new talent, new explorers.



No more Numbah One, 'cept maybe in Reality Tee Vee games.
