Always consider the unrecognized secondary uses of the big Tektronix 500 series scopes:

I have a collection of 500-series oscilloscopes. Fantastic instruments, even by today's standards. If I didn't care about the power bill, I could do my "day job" with a 547. I have a 519 in my lab. (actually two) While not really a part of the 500-series, that model was a real achievement. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
