Should be 541 and 545B oscilloscopes. Quite a few good tubes in those... Couple nice looking variacs there as well. And a 200CD sig gen there with the oscopes...
 
Thanks! At the time all this stuff was being made, Motorola was based in Chicago. The listing says this was one of their engineers.
 
Hmmmm - somehow missed this. Might swing by on sunday morning. Not looking at the big stuff, but there might be some interesting tools, books, or parts. Will report back if I go.

And yes, there are tons of ex-moto employees in the Chicago area.
 
A plethora of interesting stuff. A Lafayette somethingorother in Pic 14...big speaker? Pic 55 has a couple of Command sets...not only a Motorola retiree but probably a ham as well. Nice sealed Maxells in #80...#81 may be an amp of some sort w/a pair of 6146s. Plenty to dig through!
 
Went over on Sunday morning.

The big scopes were gone, but lots of stuff still there. Very interesting, but also highly specialized.

The Craftsman lathe was $350, but needed some work.

Fun to look, but didn't buy anything.
