@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com:
Tek stayed profitable for a long time because they won a big court
fight against copycat mfr's like Hickok and Jetronix and also because
many HP scopes triggered poorly. I would not buy any vintage Tek box
except as a collectible or to tinker with, but they were well built,
that's for sure. A few bucks spent at a hamfest will get you an old
plug-in or assembly you can torment high end stores with for years of
pleasure.
There are enough free or low cost software programs that run on laptops that
will do the same function and do it better than the old gear. There are some
rare exceptions of course.
