I did not buy an HP 54616B. Nearly $350 it was going for on *bay was too high in my opinion.
We're talking about the 500MHz scope that runs in EU for 700-1000EUR+ and the mainboard only is 350$+ in US ?
C'mon!
It's from HP.
And it's a 500MHz Scope with 2GSa/s -so it's actually a 200MHz to 300MHz Scope compared to today's standard. Ok, with an 500MHz analog front end.
I remember 4-Channel Philips 200MHz scopes with 200MSa/s that where (and occasionally are) offered for weird prices of modern 200MHz scopes..
BTW, offered was a model without any option!
Reality check:
The last one sold on *ebay went for EUR 430,00 in Germany.
But prices of sold ones in the US start at US $232,50 for a unit with extra storage, FFT and HPIB option and end at US $675,75.
You should have told about it to us I think.
I will only tell you about
after acquiring one for a nice low price. Everything else would be counterproductive, I think.
There one for 100USD in Israel, but it had an encounter with a Merkava tank
It's offered for parts. The question is: In how many parts does the mainboard come?
