I bought a Sun 1115 awhile back for $250 and probably overpaid for it. I say that because it didn't have the roll-around base cabinet (a real pain) and the exhaust analyzer doesn't work. The scope and other functions on the machine take the guessing out of troubleshooting.

Wow, as various auto repair places upgraded to the newer Vetronix or Snap-on scopes, they used to drop their old 1015s, 1215s and Computer IIs working Sun scopes off at my dyno shop just to get rid of them. When the copper market soared, I had salvage companies pick them up for nothing so I didn't have the expense of disposing of them. I kept one Sun Computer II just for my own needs, was a scope that I could see from a distance when chassis dynoing older muscle cars even though I had a good, smaller, high tech scope. I have a lot of extra parts that I was getting ready for the dumpster, after reading this, I think that I better go on Ebay with them.
