Scope help

[1502gulfcoastMS]

Hello I got this scope for a steal I think. Can anyone tell me the exact model number just from the picture?
I want to get a manual printed up. I have never used one before so this should be fun. Seller had already boxed up and didn't really know the model number. Thanks I'm sure I'll be back with plenty of questions

Yes I hope it is. Owner said he couldn't test it but it was hooked up where he got it. I paid 30 plus shipping

Are there probes and other things still available for this unit? As I said I have never used one and don't know what all I can really use it for other than modulation.

Oh yeah.
Amazon product ASIN B0030KWM30

Good find there. Might want to have it calibrated though as it appears the last time it was done was in 98. Or are there other calibration stickers on it? At any rate it is a good find for the price!! As far as the calibration that is up to you. It certainly won't hurt anything. Maybe your wallet LOL!! Have a good one.

Definitely looks like money well spent

Well unfortunately it didn't survive shipping. Some knobs are bent and broken. I did get all my money back from PO insurance and got to keep the scope. I have found a guy that will restore and calibrate it for 65.00 it will cost about 60 to ship it each way.

I see 465B's and 475's often on Craigslist for around $100-150 locally that are working. Should be easy to find one at a good price at a larger hamfest. Putting a want for one on Craigslist also might get one at a good price. There are a zillion 465 and 465B scopes out there.
However, if you can get the one you have repaired for that cost and $120 shipping, that would be pretty good. I would want to be sure of the repair costs and have some dialog with the repair guy about it if you haven't already.
