Wanted: Scope probes

Hi,

I borrowed my 4 Tek P6106 probes (and my old scope, which surprisingly still works) to a friend, and when i got them back 3 were total loss (overvoltaged, probe head burned) and the 4th now misses the ground lead and clip attachment.Of course he promised to pay once he has got money, something which he probably will never have.
Now being left with one P6106, one old P6122 and 2 excessively slow gould probes sucks because i need 4 identical ones, or any time skew measurements are useless.

Since im quite stunned of the "new" price of these probes im looking for a few of them used (but functional!).
It doesnt have to be P6106, other 10x high-impedance probes with over 200Mhz bandwidth that support the "readout" feature on Tek/HP scopes (having a special BNC connector with extra pin) are okay.Would be good if there were at least 2, better 4 identical ones.

Did you check Ebay? IIRC I saw some dirt-cheap used ones in good condition. (I was looking around the time the new forum opened, just to give time frame.)

Yes, i have seen some P6106 going for just about 100 bucks a piece, which would be rather expensive.
