"I remember my days at RETS electronics schools we had a instructor his
name was Armstrong the cousin of the inventor of FM. In his class you
got to build a 100Mhz tube only scope, you bought all the parts from
him, nice scam, including the CRT, he made the CRT's himself from
scratch."

Doesn't sound like a scam at all unless he was seriously inflating the prices
of the parts compared to what you'd normally get them for. Indeed, assuming
the prices were in-line, it sounds like a great dead, since especailly for
something like the CRT, he's the one warrantying it and you know exactly where
the guy works. :-)
