     At BUY IT NOW, you get the most loaded special edition version of the 2465B scope: the 2465BDV. 2465BDV includes dmm, TV sync, frequency counter, and gpib options. You can buy more than 1 (have several). If you don't need all these options, I have 2465Bs with fewer options. For instance, the 2465BDM has all the same options except TV.   The Tek 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  $13000 new price (with this option pack), 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 continues to grow. 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 freshly calibrated, with instructions book on CD, power cord, and 90 days GUARANTY (my parts & labor, your shipping, and only if you don't make offer for less - lesser offers delete guaranty)... READY TO USE !    Since I have more than one 2465BDV  for sale, photos will probably not be of the one you'll get, but rest assured, all are in excellent cosmetic & electrical condition. If you need photos of the exact one you'll get, I'll need your email or mms enabled cell. First photo shows the advantage of having the video option: it lets you stably trigger on video signals and lets you start on a TV line of a TV frame that you select, in this case line #19 of odd fields which here contains the VIR signal of an NTSC color bar pattern. 2nd photo shows response of scope to "autoscale+measure frequency" of a 1KHz signal from a time mark generator. 3rd photo shows result of asking scope to "autoscale+measure volts" of a 2Vpp signal. Note it tells you it goes positive from ground and that it spends more time on than off since the average is slighly more than 1V. 4th photo shows response to 2 equal amplitude signals one at 40MHz, the other 400MHz. Yes, the 400MHz looks slightly smaller, but by definition, on a 400MHz scope, 400MHz can be 30% smaller, which clearly it is not 30% smaller. 5th photo shows optional new still sealed P6063B probes you can add (see available extras to follow). 6th photo shows P6137 probe you can add.       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 will have problems (at the very least a 20+y old dying Li battery that preserves cal). 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, which is why they may be willing to let it go for less than I'm).    I urge clients to contact me before bidding so I can suggest matching accessories to best suit your needs and budget. It is no secret that ebay raises cost by by some 14%: about 10-11% sales commission for Ebay, and Paypal will keep 3-4% of the money sent thru them as "transfer fees" (something a cheque does for free, meaning if you were to write a ck for $1400 I would get paid $1400). Paypal's fees buys you speed and consumer protection. Ebay's fees buys you the right to grade me with Feedback. Be generous if you can. While understandably I am not allowed to post my direct contact info here, ebay shall give you all that with any first purchase from me (no matter how cheap such as a $5 handle label), and nothing stops you from using a $5 first purchase to save $150 on a second. AVAILABLE EXTRAS (YES ebay makes it possible to offer more than B-I-N price):  200MHz 10:1 and direct 1:1 switchable Tek P6063B new/unused probe for $120 (5th photo, cost $400 new from Tek); 400MHz 10:1 Tek P6137 probes for $150/each; top pouch for $40, rackmounting for $80 (comlicates foreign shipping); low hours unit or unit with new/unused CRT for $680 more.     California buyers pay sales tax (I will try to make it up to Californians by adding something extra).  I ship worldwide. Ebay offers now a cost effective global shipping service to many countries, whose calculator is included for this listing. This service has 4 limitations which may or may not apply to you: a) it does not serve all countries; b) it masks other faster shipping options ; c) it takes 10-20 days, and d) it asks you to prepay import duty. If you are in a high taxing country, import tax is proportional to ebay price you offer & I accept - this may be the only reason to make an offer for less (to officially reduce item's customs value)... To make sure I understand this why might be making a "best offer" for say "$100", please state clearly in your terms we will both understand that I don't have to ship you a full 2465BDV until I see a second paypal of the remaining balance. While I have no objection to helping reduce your tax, my pay should not be reduced.   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. If  this scope is beyond your budget, I have a cheaper Tek 2465ADV (predecessor with same options) also listed, as well as some cheaper 2465Bs with fewer options... see/ask! HURRY INCENTIVE: If you buy & pay by 30 Nov 14, I shall add Sencore VG91 generator (cost $2400 new) seen in 1st photo (or a Leader PAL or a SECAM gen, not pictured), FREE (but you pay for shipping it, or if you want to substitute something that does not add to shipping, I can substitute a P6137 probe instead).  Let me know your pick please ! I shall also offer a FREE recalibration when due 1 year from now if you send it to me on a prepaid round trip.
