    Description

    At BUY IT NOW, you get the most loaded special edition version of the 2465B scope: the 2465BDV. 2465BDV includes dmm, TV sync, frequency counter, and gpib options. At BIN, scope is refurbed & freshly calibrated, and guaranteed for 30 days (my parts & labor, your shipping). Extension of guaranty (my parts & labor, your shipping) to 1 year is available for 0 more (yes, ebay lets you also offer more than BIN, last I checked).
    The Tek 2465B is a well designed 4 channel 400MHz bandwidth portable package, made from mid-1988 to mid-1996 that would be useful for decades to come. Costs only a tiny fraction of its  000 new price (with this option pack), yet well maintained 2465Bs (last scopes Tek made to be component level repairable), are still faithfully serving their owners and should continue to do so.
    At BIN it will be shipped freshly calibrated, with instructions book on CD,  and power cord. Please don't offer less than BIN (cut my pay). Ebay already cuts my pay by keeping 13% of what you send me. Additional pay cuts would not inspire my best work and may delete/curtail my value adding services, and/or result in substitution with a 2465ADV (predecessor) or a 2465B with fewer options. I left 'make offer' in place for offering more for the extended guaranty.
    Since I have more than one 2465BDV  for sale, photos will probably not be of the one you'll get, but rest assured, all are in excellent cosmetic & electrical condition. If you need photos of the exact one you'll get, I'll need your email or mms enabled cell. First photo shows the advantage of having the video option: it lets you stably trigger on video signals and lets you start on a TV line of a TV frame that you select, in this case line #19 of odd fields which here contains the VIR signal of an NTSC color bar pattern (generator is not part of this sale). 2nd photo shows response of scope to "autoscale+measure frequency" of a 1KHz signal from a time mark generator. 3rd photo shows result of asking scope to "autoscale+measure volts" of a 2Vpp signal. Note it tells you it goes positive from ground and that it spends more time on than off since the average is slightly more than 1V. 4th photo shows response to 2 equal amplitude signals one at 40MHz, the other 400MHz. Yes, the 400MHz looks slightly smaller, but by definition, on a 400MHz scope, 400MHz can be 30% smaller, which clearly it is not 30% smaller.
    I choose to work on 2400s because they were the last repairable scopes Tek made. 2400s are my specialty, so mine shall arrive working correctly, whether you're buying just 1 or several to outfit an entire lab or classroom. Please keep in mind if buying another's 2465B, that chances are, regardless of price, almost certain theirs will have problems (at the very least a 20+y old dying Li battery that preserves cal; if you already own one of these, I can replace battery in yours too). I sell them because I fix them, others sell them because they need fixing. It simply isn't reasonable to expect a scope will have lasted 20 years without accumulating some issues that other sellers may or may not be aware of... My higher price pays for the correcting of all the problems which add up over time, which is a good idea if you expect a scope to work correctly from day it arrives.
    I also urge clients to contact me so I can suggest matching accessories (eg: probes such as shown in last 2 photos; yes, ebay lets you offer more than BIN if you wish to add) to best suit your needs and budget.
    Ebay as a large e-commerce site, collects sales tax for many of the 50 States. I have no control over that and I do not collect out-of-California sales tax on my own sales. If you are outside California and don't feel like paying a large tax, buy something cheap(er) from me first (eg: a probe).
    I cannot offer refunds (but only store credit) due to irreversible "frictional" losses in payments system of some fees, shipping, and taxes that I never see. To give a full refund, I'd have to "go into the hole" for you to return more than I got, which, sorry, but no, I won't.
    I leave +feedback after you do.
    I ship worldwide. Ebay offers now a cost effective global shipping service to many countries, whose calculator is included for this listing. USPS Airmail is does not offer acceptable tracking and delivery confirmation outside US, so it is not qualified according to Ebay. The other valid options are FEDEX, UPS, and DHL.
    You get a 30 day right of return for exchange or store credit, provided you don't breach tamper seals, return everything in same shape as received, pack it as well as I, and pay for all shipping.
    DISCOUNT on a 2nd item: If you BIN this one, I will offer you a 10% discount on another item bought from me (hint: buy a cheaper item like a probe or top pouch first, the more expensive scope second, sequence matters).
    LESS EXPENSIVE ALTERNATIVES: 2465ADV (predecessor of 2465BDV) available for 0 - see my other listings or offer 0 here. 2465ADV has all the same options, is labeled "350MHz", has auto-scaling but no auto-measures; 2465BDM (same as 2465BDV but no tv sync option) available for 00 (offer 00 here).
    HURRY INCENTIVE: While supply lasts, I shall offer you a LCG399A PAL generator FREE (the NTSC Sencore VG91 in photo is gone; you only have to pay for its safe shipping in a separate 2nd box, ebay's shipping calculator cannot be tasked with calculating shipping for a 2nd box). If you prefer, I can substitute a probe which would not need a separate box. Let me know.
