Free Heath IO-18 scope, Washington DC area

For any hobbyists/hams who are interested, I have a mostly working,
mostly intact Heath IO-18 oscilliscope available for pick-up. Give it
to your kids to play with, use it as a station monitor, I don't care, I
just want it to get some use in a good home.

I don't know what the official specs of the IO-18 are but bandwidth
realistically is not much better than 100kHz or so. It's tube-based
but not ridiculously big or heavy.

It's free, you must pick up in suburban Washington DC. E-mail me
(shoppa@trailing-edge.com) for details.

Tim.

Tim,

I hope somebody takes you up on your generous offer. fyi, the IO-18
supposedly is a 5 MHz 'scope. Heath brought it out in 1969 and claimed
it would be suitable for TV work because of its wide bandwidth.

As I recall the IO-18, it is more like 1/5 of a scope.
