Seems you have Private Messaging disabled Nick so I cant send you a reply.
You asked about a scope but it was a sig gen, so a little confused there. And it seems you have one of those?
If you were interested in it the start bid is perhaps as much as it should go for, as others have said they are often £15 to £25 at BVWS auctions, and you can see them, but that one does look in nice condition whereas often they aren't. However, a tenner here and there doesn't bother me. If I want it, how long will it be before I see another one? Too old to wait sometimes ...
If I was bidding I would e-mail first and ask if it can be really well packed as I hate dented / broken items, shipping cost with a good pack, is fair.
I would steer clear of all those huge heavy boat anchors, they were made for development labs and probably left out all the time. The smaller units are friendly to get out of a cupboard, don't have a large footprint and certainly my bench is tiny (4ft x 2ft 6) so a major asset. And they are perfectly adequate for home work particularly if you come across a frequency counter, another item for the list
.
Not so important for AF work as they are normally accurate but good if you pick up an RF unit which sometimes can be a little off. A counter allows a little tweaking or just reassurance that all is well.
Here's pics of my restored Advance RF genie ...
Not much in the box, but a neat construction with a well designed attenuator
