Another oscilloscope thread

[mophead]

I've found a few scopes in my price range. Out of these, disregarding price, which do you guys think the best for tuning and other general purpose use?

Tek 465

Tek 2465

HP 1741a

Thanks.

Scratch the 2465--after closer looking, it has problems.

The Tek 465's separate trigger channel is useful for diagnosing jitter problems; I've used the 465 many times and I like it a lot. The 1741a is also a good scope, but I guess I'm just a Tekhead :-)

that also has a trigger channel and works up to 20 mhz WEEHEEEE but is absolutely in perfect condition and works for everything i will ever need it for...

[mophead]

it works great.. im serious.. its the same seller.. they came from a school and are totaly solid state.. i use it for laser shit and its great..

The other ones there were all the same.. a little dusty but thats it.. hardly used.. and its a great pukey green color too...
Carmengary has one and he likes it.. i picked it up with mine (the guy was like 20 min from my work but i don't work there anymore and now its like an hour away) and sent it to him and it arrived in tip top shape..

That's a nice 'scope! And under $100 too! Nothing wrong with that at all... (It's better than the one I have, and I paid about the same.)

Never mind.... BK Precision is SO COOL!! A technician there personally ripped apart both the original users and service manuals and scanned them into PDF for me! WOW! By far the best customer support I've ever had. BK ROCKS!

buffo he had 6 or 8 i think..
but he said he was getting more..

It was a high school or something and they were stacked in a corner forever..

They were PROBABLY never used bor more than an hour and all have numbers on the top of them in big stencil text.
