[sdiy] Free broken o'scope - Philips/Fluke PM3070 (UK only)

[Tom Bugs]

Cheers Graham,
Yeah, it was a bit silly of the seller - a real nono for shipping -> 
loads & loads of bubblewrap but almost all of it ON TOP of the scope!!?!!
Luckily the replacement scope I ordered was packaged with great care, 
but it is certainly tricky to buy scopes remotely.
Cheers,
Tom
