Why not just print them on 3d printer? Nothing so special with them or?

Too bad I can't "Make an Offer".

Today, only 26,000 remain.

My offer would be that he pays me to take it, then I can give the feet to JPortici.

either buy&hack a Rigol DS1054Z or repair a Tektronix TPS2024 and get a scope with twice the specs, for the same price! :palm:
Just me and my scope.

Red paint on stickers on top and back.
Knobs for rotary controls removed before red paint.
I get the impression that this scope was never intended to be on the market again.
Does Tektronix use the same methods as Gibson Guitars, i.e. order dealers to destroy products replaced under warranty before throwing them in the trash?

Well, as the old saying goes, there's a sucker born every minute.  I hope for the sake of whoever bought it that the inside is in better condition than the outside!
