[TriEmbed] Seeking source for oscilloscope donation to local high school

[jwet]

I also have scope or two and I suspect most members do.  There has been a changeover from CRT to LCD (just like TV's) and there are lots of CRT scopes gathering dust.  Note though that for about $350, you can buy a new LCD scope.  (Rigol, etc.).  I don't know what level of Impoverishment we're talking.  I could spare an analog scope to good home.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

    Hi Dawn --
    Can you be more specific about the term "new-ish." I have a
      couple of analog Tektronix scopes that aren't doing anything
      interesting. I also have a few scopes from the dawn of the digital
      age, when they were trying to figure out how to do digital
      oscilloscopes. Mostly 2 channel, 100 MHz sort of scopes. 
    
    I can't get them to you for a few weeks (traveling). Let me know
      if they're of interest.

          Hi All!
          
          
          I'm wondering
            if anyone on this list might know of a potential donor of a
            new-ish entry-level oscilloscope to a local high school? 
          
          
          
          My son is the
            new Physics teacher at Hillside High School in Durham. The
            school hasn't had a Physics teacher for the past few years,
            and the state of their lab supplies is pretty dismal. Many
            items belong in the 'antique' category.
          
          
          He's
              received some money for student supplies for specific
              labs, but is now working on acquiring more general-purpose
              equipment. 
          
            
          It seems
              likely that some local business/organization would be
              willing to donate a relatively inexpensive oscilloscope to
              the cause, but he has no idea who to approach.
          
            
          Does anyone
              on the list have suggestions that I could pass along to
              him?
            
          
            
          Thanks very
              much for any info you can provide!
