    This is a Tek 2465B with GPIB & Frequency Counter Options installed. (Also called a 2465BCT if it has connector for P6407 logic probe installed on back). 2465B is a well designed 4channel 400MHz bandwidth portable package, made from mid-1988 to mid-1996 that would be useful for decades to come. Costs only a tiny fraction of its  $11,000 new price (with these 2 options), yet years from now well maintained 2465Bs (last scopes Tek made to be repairable), will still be faithfully serving their owners as the pile of unrepairable junked DSOs grows ever bigger. DSOs have tried to emulate the features of high performing analog scopes since day-1, and in some respects are still trying. Arguably the only advantage DSOs have is in recording, while still suffering disadvantages in waveform fidelity. If  uploading waveforms to your computer is not is not what you plan on doing with a scope, then get my 2465B.      Will be shipped READY TO USE: freshly calibrated, with instructions book on CD, power cord, and 90 days GUARANTY(my parts & labor, your shipping), but only if you pay BIN price - lesser offers on ebay may delete options, cal, and guaranty.    Since the listing is for multiple quantity (with more possible options you may select below), the photos may not be of the specimen you'll get, but rest assured any 2465B I send out will be in equally excellent cosmetic & electrical shape. First photo shows leading edge of a 0.9965847 MHz square wave whose risetime (and that of the scope) reads about 1.06nS, consistent with the capability of a 400MHz scope (if generator's risetime was infinitely short, it would read 0.88nS, but my generaor isn't that fast). This is a far more stringent test than others showing a scope can display trace zero signal lines or 1KHz signals. 2nd photo shows response of scope to "autoscale+measure frequency" of a 1KHz signal from a time mark generator. 3rd photo shows the optional front cover and top pouch you can add (see below available extras). 4th photo shows optional pair of  P6137 probes you can add from list of available extras (read below). 5th photo shows left side of scope with 2  P6063B switchable probes you can add. 6th photo shows optional 19" rackmount cradle.       I choose to work on 2400s because they were the last repairable scopes Tek made (newer TDSs are unrepairable, not something to brag about). 2400s are my specialty, so mine shall arrive working correctly, whether you're buying just 1 or several to outfit an entire lab or classroom. Please keep in mind if buying another's 2465B, that chances are, regardless of price, almost certain theirs may have problems. I sell them because I fix them, others sell them because they need fixing. It simply isn't reasonable to expect a scope will have lasted 20 years without accumulating some issues that a seller may or may not be aware of. One common problem after 20+ years is that the Li battery/NVRAM is overdue for replacing, but hasn't been, unless you're buying from me.     I urge clients to contact me before bidding so I can suggest matching accessories and/or options to best suit your needs. Pricing on ebay includes a "hidden tax" of 14% (10-11% in sales commission to ebay; and 3-4% on money transfers via paypal, something a domestic ck or MO does losslessly, eg: if you were to write $1200 on a ck -I'd get $1200, which I'd accept). Alas, Paypal's 3% does buy you speed and consumer protection, and ebay's 10% buys you the right to grade me via feedback. Be generous if you can. If you can't, you may first buy my cheapest item  (a $5 handle label) on ebay, which will result in ebay giving you  all my direct contact info, and then buy the scope while saving $120 or more.   AVAILABLE EXTRAS ( yes, ebay "make offer" can be used for more than BIN):  200MHz switchable Tek P6063B probe for $120/ea new (cost $400 new from Tek); 400MHz 10:1 Tek P6137 probes for $150/each; pair of FETprobe outlets (option 11) for $100; top pouch for $40, front cover for $90, rackmounting for FREE (only on US domestic sales); new/unused CRT for $680 more... let me know if you want any of these add-ons... and you may pay for them by using the "make offer" button, adding for what you want, and letting me know.    California buyers pay sales tax (I will try to ease California the burden by adding something extra).  I ship worldwide. Ebay now offers a global shipping service, which some may find nice, despite 3 limitations: a) only works to some countries; b) takes 10-20 days; and c) we cannot ask ebay global shipping to increase box size/weight or lower customs value to reduce import taxes, except by using "make offer" for less (tax will be in proportion to offer you make & I accept). If you are in a high taxing country, and need "reduced value" invoice to lower your tax, you may "make offer" for less as long as you clearly state in your offer's terms that you understand you'll quickly pay me the difference in a separate paypal, and that I don't have to send you a full 2465B until I am fully paid. To those in countries that tax at around 30% (many do), paying $30 tax on a "$100" scope will be a lot less taxing than paying $400 on a $1300 scope.   You get a 14 day right of return for refund or exchange provided you don't breach tamper seals, return everything in same shape as received, pack it as well as I, and pay for all shipping. This is an ebay requirement, but my guaranty lasts 90 days.  HURRY UP INCENTIVE: If you BIN by 1 Dec 14 (Cyber Monday), I shall ADD DMM OPTION 1, and upgrade US shipping from ground to 2 days Prio (air)mail if you are more than 2 days away by ground; FREE ! I will also provide a FREE recalibration when due 1 year from now if you send it to me on a prepaid roundtrip.
