I would actually LOVE to have a nice bench O'Scope! When I worked for GE, some 14+ years ago, I carried one with me every single day as part of my tool set. Sadly, those days are over and dropping $400+ just isn't in the cards.

I would really like to try one of these. They look almost perfect for what I am expecting to use it for.

This may be my final approach once I have weighed out all my options.

No deep dive needed. This is a fact I understand completely! It literally is a matter of limited available finances for this item.
