[Mike_in_SD]

Hi guys

I am looking for a used small oscilloscope, nothing fancy.

Back home (penn state area) I used to be able to go over the college
to the surplus dept and find this kind of stuff .. but .. im not
qualified in the San Diego area.

Anybody know of a place.


thanks
mike

eBay is your best shot, but you could try http://freecycle.org/ or
http://www.craigslist.org/

Back in the 80's, there used to be a neat place called ERAC
(Electronics Recycling and ??? .. or something like that). I recall
that it was around Clairemont Mesa Blvd. in Kearney Mesa. Great place
- seemed like every piece of test equipment and electronics surplus
that was ever made, had its last stop at that place. Good hunting.

There are several places to look for test equipment.

Industrial liquidators on Convoy st in Kearny Mesa
Gateway Electronics in Kearny Mesa
Murphys surplus on Johnson in El Cajon
California Electronics on Johnson in El Cajon.
Willies Electronics in National City.

There are others. I would suggest checking Gateway first for an O
scope. I think your best chance of finding a working one is there.
Industrial liquidators has some better prices and you can usually
haggle a bit, but their stuff always requires repair. Murphys has more
military and odd stuff. Good place to look if you like exploring.
Sometimes they will let you look around in back.

Good luck.

I moved out of Sandy Eggo about 30 years ago, but when I was down there,
Harlan Labs on Kearny Mesa was pretty good on surplus stuff. There was also
an electronics junk shop over on University Ave. somewhere around where the
805 crosses it today (near Euclid), but I can't remember the name.

There is another surplus electronics place out in Santee just south of
Gillespie Field that I was in about four years ago.

There are (were) dozens of them back in the '60s. If you have a friend
working for General Dynamics (nee Convair) on the Mesa, they have an
electronics surplus sale every six months or so on Saturday morning.

Got a ham ticket? Get on a local repeater and ask around.
