Re: [vcf-midatlantic] pickup in DC?

Hey folks. Awhile back I needed some help getting a vintage oscilloscope retrieved from Oklahoma. I'm pleased to report that, with the help of a friend, it has been retrieved. Now that friend is traveling in Washington DC, and he brought it with him. Is there anyone in or near DC who might be able to meet up with him downtown and grab it? I'll be in DC again in 2-3 weeks and can pick it up at that time.
Thanks, -Dave
Great to see it's advanced east so quickly.

Yup, we're a quick bunch. :) I just can't get down to DC this week while he's still in town. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
Dave, I work in DC and live in Fairfax, VA. How big is it, and when will you be here? I will be out of town for the weekend of the 24th and a few surrounding days. Bob On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 7:53 PM, Dave McGuire via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Hi Bob! It's a Tektronix 545. It's 13" wide, 16.75" tall, and 24" deep. My next DC trip isn't yet planned, but it has to be within the next ~4 weeks. I'm actually going to Burtonsville, MD, but that's just a bit further. (in the context of the drive from Pittsburgh, of course ;))
I will be out of town for the weekend of the 24th and a few surrounding days.
Understood. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
If Bob is unable to pick the item up I might be able to help. I'm in Springfield, but work in Herndon. -J On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 9:27 PM, Dave McGuire via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I am in Chantilly, VA which is outside of DC. Don't make it into the city very often. Still have a 40 watt 532nm YAG laser in the garage waiting for someone to come pick it up from Arizona. Grrr.

No worries, several people have offered to assist, I think I've got it covered.

532nm from a YAG? That's gotta be frequency-doubled, yes? I'd surely give that a home here. What are its power requirements? -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
Hi Ethan ... we can't be far apart. I live about near the Fairfax TownCenter... off Monument. Did we already discuss this? Bob On Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 11:07 AM, Dave McGuire via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
