Finally got my scope out of the cupboard and up and running on the weekend, but I know sweet FA about them in general. I bought it as an inpulse buy about a year ago, partially based on the "the more MHz the better" rule, and partially coz the seller was in the small town I had a bucks night out in the week following the auction, so no interstate postage to pay for. Mainly I jumped at it as it was a Dual Channel 100Mhz scope going for a less than a new Single Channel 20Mhz one.
There is a guy on Ebay selling the exact same one as mine, tho he is dreaming a bit on the price, I think I got mine for $230, plus $15 for a couple of yumcha probes.
The mains cable had been bodged into it, and it had no earth, which considering the vast expanse of metal casing seemed dodgy, so I had to refit a decent mains lead and put the earth connection back as the schematic showed it.
It's also missing its nose cover, trying to track one down but I dont rate my chances.
It works well for the limited stuff I have used it for so far, but is it a good one in general?
