OT Another one dies....

[Andrew VK3BFA]

Last week my TEK 475 died - people here unkindly accussed me of
mistreating it (I didnt). Well, this afternoon another cro went
"squeak" and died (my BWD 835) - partly, its just got no horizontal
sweep. Is this a record, 2 cros in 10 days?.... (Running out of
workshop CROs)

These things come in threes. Only one more 'scope to go...

That's right, cheer him up.

I thought it was good insight so Andrew will buy an eBay cheapy to fill the
quota of 3 and THEN go buy a good one. My 600 MHz Lecroy just crapped out.
Maybe I should follow the same advice and buy a couple Dumont 304s or similar.

You Cannot Sidestep Murphy. If you do as you suggest the
Dumonts will stagger on forever. You already know this
though, don't you? ;>)
