    One of my better scores!!!

    Got this load today after work. I was told by my wife to stop at her sister's to pick up a few electronics. So I was thinking a tv and some DVD players or VHS. Well besides what's in the pictures, here's a quick list.

    20 sticks of memory
    7 monitor
    20 various PCI cards
    4 ups w/batteries
    7 cell phones
    2 routers
    1 DSL modem
    Various Apple cables brand new in package
    1 fax machine
    cables like I can't believe
    A bunch of electrical testing equipment
    and much more

    The items in the pictures have got me amp up.

    Nice job, that 'scope and the box on top of it (freq counter or signal tracer) should go good on the Ft.Wayne Craigslist as there is a ton of ham operators around that area.

    Thanks Bear I have set some stuff off to the side to do just that. I found 2 clicky keyboards also. Mech the box on top is a 8000a digital multimeter. They both power up. That is as far as I have gone with testing them.

    Yes some one wants that Oscope. I would but can't aford the shipping or travel costs. On selling you can check out local ham clubs via American Radio Relay League | ARRL - The national association for AMATEUR RADIO and ask when the next Ham Fest is going on. A Ham Fest is a gathering of Ham radio operators and normally they have a swap meet. Mike KE4ILG

    I think one of the big ones is coming up this month, either Ft Wayne or Dayton. 2 of the bigger ones in the midwest.
    Ft Wayne has their big one at the coliseum.

    Thats a nice little score, that nec should have some better than scrap components like 5.25" floppy drive. Those sell on ebay like hotcakes.
