I bought a cheap scope on eBay five or six years ago.
At that time, the Tektronix 2235 (which I bought) was "THE" bargain scope. There were a bunch of them, all going for very good prices. 100 MHz, dual channel. Built like a tank.
That scope has been a real workhorse for me. It's been a great bargain.
Although I don't plan to buy another scope in the near future (unless this one breaks, which it shows no sign of doing), I took a quick peek on the US eBay site to see what folks are getting for used Tektronix scopes these days.
I was very surprised to see that "THE" scope right now seems to be the Tektronix 2465, a 4-channel 300 MHz microprocessorized machine. There are a bunch of them listed. It looks like they'll also go for very good prices.
Five or six years makes a lot of difference!
