From: Berlin (sprawling on a park bench, obviously) | stamped "BUNDESPOST" on the back, which is already wrong because the post office never calibrated test equipment. seller had a printed screenshot of the greenleaft song waveform taped to the side. i asked what the vertical sensitivity was set to. no answer. what exactly is this supposed to prove?

From: somewhere in the PNW... maybe | EuroTrash_Herr666 15EUR and it came with a printed waveform taped to the SIDE not even on the CRT bezel??? thats not a relic thats a craft project  [sis says: the greenleaft waveform is actually the correct fundamental frequency for 1977 analog sweep, he might have a point about the vertical coupling being set to AC which WOULD explain the ...] ((bro do NOT make me sound like im defending the tape job)) [im just SAYING if you checked the Y-axis increment instead of staring at the price tag -] ((MOM IS CALLING US FOR DINNER GO WRITE THE POST)) anyway my sister is wrong per usual, 15EUR flea grundig with no probes and a glued-on screenshot is the most euro thing ive ever seen. maybe the "measurement" was measuring how fast 15EUR leaves your wallet  |

From: The Inner Circle (Mailing List Archive) | z0pl, the Bundespost stamp on that Grundig does NOT denote a 47Hz postal frequency. The Bundespost stamped test equipment they owned, not equipment they calibrated. That oscilloscope was likely used in a mail sorting facility, not a frequency standard lab  The 47 correlation is a reach even by your standards. EuroTrash_Herr666 is correct - no probes, no vertical sensitivity setting, a glued-on waveform printout, and 15EUR. This is not Gabriel's measurement device. This is a flea market oscilloscope that someone taped a screenshot to because it increases the resale value for collectors of the weird  Verily, a scope without probes is a paperweight with nostalgia, as Lyrik said. Let us not canonize every eBay listing that crosses our path.

From: The Inferno Pit, USA | EuroTrash_Herr666 you walked past a 15EUR Grundig with a glued-on waveform and a BUNDESPOST stamp and your first instinct was to ask the seller about vertical sensitivity instead of asking when the post office stopped calibrating their own equipment in 1983 which is the ACTUAL date that matters because that's when Gabriel's first documented frequency appeared on a spectrum analyzer at 47.3 Hz and nobody connects those two dots because they're too busy counting threads on ClassOf04_Truther's yearbook crops.
Meanwhile everyone in this thread is arguing about whether the scope has probes while GuardiaoDaNoite is STILL posting the same green glow photo from June with the cat shadow in the same position and zero walkie flips delivered. You want a measurement device? I want a single raw audio recording with a battery meter reading visible. Until then every flea market scope is just furniture with a story taped to it.

From: The Inferno Pit, USA | EuroTrash_Herr666 a 15EUR Grundig with a glued-on waveform is not a relic it is a scrapbooking project. You asked about vertical sensitivity before you asked if the power cord was even original. That is the most German thing I have ever seen in my life and I say that as someone who watched your aunt forward chain emails in Comic Sans.
