Post Number: 6217 Registered: Mar-04 | Well, my uncle works for a cell phone company and they were cleaning out a storage area so ALOT of older test equipment was going in the dumpster tomorrow. I just happened to drop by his house Saturday and he told me about em. Well, awhile back I told him I was looking for an O-Scope if he came across a used one...he said there may be an old one there in the storage. So, today we went to the storage place and started digging. There were 5-6 older cell tower testing units and I just happened to find an o-scope! Looked like it was in good shape but I didn't test it. I asked him again, "are you sure this is getting thrown away?" He said yes, its all going in the dumpster out back as soon as we get to it! So, that sucker went in my truck! I started looking it up a few mins ago to get some info one it. Its a Motorola R-2001D. After alil searching, I found a place or 2 that said it sold new for $15K!!!  I nearly shvt myself! If this is true...OMG! This sucker is going up for sale and I'm giving him half cause I'm cool like that So, please help me find some more info in this testing unit!!!!! MOTOROLA R-2001D thanks |

But then on other places its ~$5.5K!!! I am going to test it out tomorrow at the shop. If I can sell this thing, it looks like I just found the $ for an S10 ext cab!  |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego, California Post Number: 3620 Registered: Dec-06 | My first thought was -- What kind of dumbass threw that away? You should be able to get 3k if it is in decent shape. If it is mint then you're looking at a treasure. Also checks the serials and markings to see if it is one of the rare ones. I used one of these when I worked for Sound Image tech-ing FOH rigs. Even then, it was one of those "wooooooo you have one of those???" type pieces of gear. You never know what you will walk up on.... it's one of the things that makes life worthwhile. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6968 Registered: Jul-06 | Man I would have been all over that place.......... it's amazing what companies just throw out. I've got about 20 of these black rectangular units with BIG touch screens on them, they are full win XP computers, designed to be mounted on a wall to control machinery. My dads company was throwing them out so we grabbed them  They look like with a little modification they could make a good in-car computer....... thats a project I haven't got around to yet That reminds me I'd sell some of them if anybodys interested. But anyways nice score finding that scope. |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1298 Registered: May-07 | That is sweet! Man if it was free and had no money in it, I would keep the thing. use it in the shop, charge people money to bench thier amps. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6973 Registered: Jul-06 | You need a lot more than that to benchtest amps. (Huge power supply and resistors) |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 2295 Registered: Nov-06 | MS, how much would you want for one of those? I've always thought that a carputer would be awesome. Have you pulled any apart and checked the components? Might be worth it just for the touch screen and the case. |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1306 Registered: May-07 | M.S., I thought he said a while back he had a power supply and resistors (or maybe no resistors), but no scope? I thought it was him atleast. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana 2 DD3515s, 2... Post Number: 6221 Registered: Mar-04 | Yes, I work at alil up and coming shop. I already had a scope (cheap old Heath Kit), and its fine for setting gains. Nice light, small scope too. I do have power supply, but no resistors. A little while back I was looking into building a resistor bank though. May still do it, I don't know. This Motorola is monsterous. I am emailing a few electronics repair places to see if they are interested. I am also going to try some of these electronics surplus places. |
