In article <2829@calmasd.GE.COM>, jnp@calmasd.GE.COM (John Pantone) writes: Has anyone else had experiences with such long lived electronics? I have a 1943 Navy USM-24c oscilliscope, it still works pretty good for fixing tube TV's and other antiques. Has about a 50 ohm input impedance!. It should last forever, it weighs about 80lbs and is made out of 12 guage steel. You could shoot it with a shotgun and it would probably still work. I paid $30 for it at a surplus store, about 10 years ago, been working ever since... Kevin VandeWettering
