And now I hear that they desroy their own equipment so they can sell
more new stuff?! Baloney.

You're wearing rose-colored glasses. They absolutely do destroy older
equipment via the trade-in "bounties" collected by resellers such as
Tucker. This is no secret in the industry.

I would question this statement. I've seen lots of older 'scopes
and other gear at the Tektronix company surplus store, mainly 7000 and
11000 series.

I would be curious to know how much really is destroyed, and how
much makes it into the store's inventory. Perhaps someone who actually
works for Tektronix could comment?
