Broke down an oscilloscope today
Had an HP oscilloscope sitting in the shed from a yard clean out I did about a month ago. Decided to take it apart since I never had done one before....I know prob worth more than scrap but I couldn't resist. Found some real interesting things. A gold plated mobo which had some gold EPROMs and ic chips, hand full of finger cards with heavy gold fingers, Motorola Transistors model 2n3055 that were attached to a large heat sink. The base on them are a non magnetic metal but i don't want to scratch them since i believe i can ebay them...any ideas on what it may be? The majority of the case is cast alum. Also found some finger cards that were not gold but a very shiny silver. I tried looking them up by number on the cards but had no luck. They are hp 08410-6037 and hp 08410-6018. Trying to find out if theses have silver fingers or some other metal maybe platnum? Crossing fingers. The gold connector ends are the heaviest I have ever seen. If anyone has ever tore one down any insight would be helpful. No results in the search trying to find info. Thanks.
