Tektronix extenders 540/580 scopes etc

[woodchips]

Was going to post this on Tekscopes but that site defeats me.

Have four old Tek plug in extenders, EP54 16 way, 013-0055-00 16 way, 013-0034-00 24 way and 013-077 32 way. First two for standard 540/580 series, 24 way for 555?, last for 647.

Anyone want them? FOC but postage in the UK will be £4, weight 2kg packed.

You should post that in the Buy/Sell/Want section of the forum.

@mods: please move

Why? It is test equipment and I am not buying/selling or wanting.

Amazingly I did think this one through and decided here was better, obviously not.

The Test Equipment forum is for discussing test gear related issues, i.e. how to do X or what is the best instrument for Y.

The Buy/Sell/Wanted group is the place if you want to get rid of stuff, either for money or for free.

If in doubt just look if anyone else is posting anything that is at least somewhat similar to what you want to do. If there isn't anything then there's a pretty good chance it is off-topic in that group.

The other advantage of posting in the correct group is that you'll get much more people that might be interested in your gear to read your post.

Well, I thought I would get more Tek enthusiasts in the test equipment section than the buy and sell.

Maybe, maybe not (I'm sure a lot more people are checking the Buy/Sell/Want regularly than the Test instruments sub-forum),  but the thing is that there's a reason why we have separate sub-forums here and that it is expected from every member to respect them.

Buy/Sell/Wanted is the place if you want to get rid of stuff, simple as that. As I said, the Test Instruments section is for discussions about test gear, not sales or giveaways (which again you could have found out easily by checking if you can find other posts than yours in the group, if not then it's very likely off-topic).

It's not that complicated.

I don't have any issues about your post--it's probably where I would have most likely encountered it while casually browsing.

Just ignore. If you were in the States, I'd offer you a beer and some good war stories.
