Since we often see threads asking 'do I need a scope and if so, what kind?' here's one I'm going to release into the wild for other pfm diyers to use
A couple of years ago Stevec67 kindly gave me this Telequipment D67 to re-home; MarkW has been playing with it recently, and now I think it should travel a bit further in its dotage. Telequipment was the U.K arm of Tektronix aimed at the service and hobbyist markets. Bandwidth is a useful 25 MHz, has two channels, it has delayed sweep and line-triggering capability (really useful for power supplies) even a Z input - plenty of toys to play with, and the considered controls design of classic Tek gear. Footprint is compact - 225 x 225 x 450mm deep (9 x9 x18") roughly. Comes with mains lead, full printed manual and a basic 60Mhz 1x/10x probe - nothing fancy but good enough to get going. Everything seems to work, calibration is reasonable and I'll give the switches a clean meanwhile.
As a community resource I propose this toy travels on the honour system - no charge, and no time limits; it's simply your responsibility to get it to the next person by agreement when you are finished with using it. Which probably means arranging a face-to-face meet at mutual convenience - it is quite heavy and think of a scope as a high-end valve amplifier with one non-removable, non replaceable valve: I wouldn't post it!
So - here it is in Bath and I'm happy to meet within say an hour's radius for first taker. Who'd like a go?

Current whereabouts:
22.06.15 Scope is now with grazie - east Kent. Nice to meet you, Graeme.
