  There's a company called Tucker in Dallas that has a catalogue featuring
reconditioned Tektronix and Hewlett Packard stuff. The prices look pretty
reasonable. I bought a Tektronix spectrum analyser from them about a year
ago for work, and it's held up pretty well so far. If anyone wants more
info on this (like their phone number or something) I'll dig up some info.
