Re: Oscilloscope recommendation?

I just recently had a fine result buying a used Tek 2230 (100 Mhz digital storage) from ebay ($199) Yes there is some risk, the secret is taking the time to find one from a highly rated individual seller that knows its history and knows for a fact that it is in good working order. I would also recommend shopping in this generation of scope, which was before fully digital but with some digital storage functionality. A true analog trace but with storage, comparison, zooming, triggering, etc. These scopes cost $5000+ in their day but can now be had for nothing. A real sweet spot in the price/value range. Getting a modern digital scope with the same quality of signal and fequency range would cost far more than you are looking to spend.
