I invited them to visit the space and have been discussing with them the possibility of donating some gear. I was hoping not to have to buy the scope but it has taken so long that I just bought one. They have a very busy trade show schedule and it has taken months to get to this point.
I’m not sure if we can also work a member discount. I will surely bring it up to them.
oh - just in case - it might be worth looking at that one probe for the new scope - it’s tip apparently had a manufacturing defect - I recall it was colored for channel 3 or 4 - pull the clamping tip off and (erroneously) the probing tip goes with it (stuck in the clamping tip). Maybe the rep could replace it for us
