<div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Thanks very much for the replies. I've checked in with Stephen regarding a few of the details:</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_default gmail_quote">
Can you be more specific about the term "new-ish." I have a
couple of analog Tektronix scopes that aren't doing anything
interesting. <br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">I suppose 'new-ish' implies that the scope works reliably and is considered safe by today's standards. A lot of the donated equipment that is currently in the supply room is really just e-waste, so the hope was to avoid anything in that category. </div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Currently, there are no oscilloscopes, so anything meeting the above criteria would be useful. One oscilloscope would suffice. Two or three would allow more hands-on experience for the kids. More than three would start to cause storage problems.<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_default gmail_quote">
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.
</blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Unfortunately, there is a $0 budget for any type of oscilloscope. A new Rigol would be lovely, if anyone happens to know of a business or organization that might be persuaded to donate one. <br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">I'll contact everyone who has replied directly to discuss possible donations.

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.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">He's
