It's not dangerous, but there are those of us who think gutting a Tek
scope is sacrilege. Even if they don't work, they are rarely beyond
repair. Gut an RCA or Eico scope.

hey, i have gotten an old (1950's) tektronix type 310 scope that i want
to gut and use for a pc case. i don't want to kill myself, so is there
anything i need to do or be aware of? It does not work and has not been
used for at least 20 yrs, so would components still be carrying a charge
and if so what do i do about them. as it is not working, keeping parts
intact is not an issue...
It's sacrilege indeed! I have a 549 storage scope, just a few models up.
still works like a charm and still the single most useful piece of test
equipment I have /rant
I second that! Where are you located? What do you want for the scope?
hhhhh - don't part it out, that would be a crime. And to put a PC (piece
of crap) in it, ahhhhhh! The humanity!! end rant

tom
