Re: Oscilloscope recommendation?

I've found that buying an older scope off eBay isn't as bad as it sounds. You can find a 50MHz scope (much higher bandwidth than is needed for FRC robots) for about $80-$100 from a seller with a return policy. I have a tek 2230 just like jspatz1 (100MHz dual channel) that I bought w/ a refurbished power supply for $200. It also came with a service manual and two 100mhz probes. It's interesting because it has a completely analog mode where you can see the dot move across the display when you have set a slow sweep speed and it's just like an old scope, and it has a digital storage mode, which lets you perform measurements.
