I know, it's a bit weird, but here's the history:

I've sold about 140 scopes over the last eight years. About 30 of them
were 465's. Almost all the 465's arrive in really worn condition--
bent knob shafts, missing or broken knobs, worn pushbutton markings,
scratched voltage selector markings, missing handles, scratchy pots,
worn dentents on the sweep speed knob, shorted tantalums, corroded
input attenuator plug-in pins, worn out fan motor, scratched CRT
graticule, dirt ground into the older porous CRT bezels, banged-up
cases, intermittent ac/dc/gnd switches, burnt-out graticule
illumination bulbs, dried-up power supply capacitors, half-open bridge
rectifiers, bent BNC jacks, and other horrors I'd rather not dredge up.


On the other hand, I've run across just TWO scopes in this like-new
condition. No others came even close to being in this condition..

The first new-like one also arrrived without a case or power cord.
That one, once I added a power cord and case, sold about two years ago
IIRC for $685, and the buyer was happy with the deal. Apparently
there are folks out there that see more value in these old but like-new
scopes. You of course are perfectly entitled to have your own
opinion!
