Yes, that was me. I never did succeed in getting that oscilloscope working
(I bought it second-hand from someone who had built it partway from a kit,
then lost interest). I no longer own it.

There's an old oscilloscope for sale from the Nashville Goodwill store on
ShopGoodwill.com:
https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/53589145
It's a Vu-Data PS-940 which I know nothing about so I Googled it and at the
bottom of the page was a link to an old 1982 issue of Popular Electronics
magazine with the blurb I've included at the very bottom of this email
(please pardon the HTML email, but I wanted it to display the same way as
on the page and I didn't know if I could include an image).
Note the name of our very own John F. Eldredge of 3188 Parthenon Ave.
Nashville right next to Vu-Data Model PS-940!
If you follow the link you can see John's name and address actually
appeared in a classified ad-like section called Operation Assist which was
at the end of the magazine. He was asking for information about different
oscilloscope listed right before the PS-940.
Scrolling through the magazine is a trip down memory lane. There's an ad
with William Shatner selling the Commodore VIC-20 on page 9 and I saw at
least a couple of mail-order shops selling the Atari 800 (my first computer).
Here's a working link to the page:
http://artsdocbox.com/Television/66230901-Popular-electronics-world-s-largest-selling-electronics-magazine-january-1982-1.html
As for the scope: if it was outdated in 1982 I think it would be a real
dinosaur today! So, I'm not really interested but I did see elsewhere on
line that it's a very simple 20mhz scope for anyone who might want it. When
I wrote this email the bidding was only up to $21.
Hope y'all found this at least a little bit entertaining (especially John).
