ATTENTION UK Classiccmpers: I found this lurking in a ham radio
newsgroup. The last line of the message is what got my attention. Also,
the 575 is a pretty nice piece of gear, especially if it can be rescued
from being sent (working) to the landfill.

For sale: Tektronix 575 Transistor Curve Tracer.
Wonderful machine, displays loads of curves for pretty much any
transistor you care to test on it. Can even test two transistors
at once, ideal for selecting matched pairs.

Would also be ideal as a boat anchor. Money? Yes, I'd like some,
so get your accountant to figure out the new price (thousands),
add inflation, and then take off a lot for depreciation, add even
more for rare collectable status, and take off another few zillion
'cos I'm such a warm-hearted generous idiot. Or just make an offer.
Any suggestions where else I might find a good home for this useful
piece of gear? I'd be heart-broken to take it down the tip, but
it occupies space I can ill afford.
P.S. The spare CP/M computers are still available.
