Why don't you ask the seller and see what his response is.
Maybe he doesn't want anybody to copy the serial number !

"copy the s/n"? For what purpose?
I suspect the scope could be stolen.I see no reason to hide the s/n.
Tektronix maintains a stolen instrument database for their products,call
TEK security to find out about a particular unit,or to report one stolen.


I think it much more likely that the unit pictured is not the actual unit
for sale. If it were stolen it'd be easy enough for the recipient to find
out anyway.
