I got all my used scopes in Columbia, Mo, North of Springfiled, North
of BRANSON.  OK, Branson is a super hick town - but even out here in
the sticks there are TV repair people, hospitals with engineering
depts (That's where I think mine came from)  and hackers.  Also, I
alsways look up surplus stores whenever I travel.  Kansas City, St
Louis, Chicago, Atlanta - surely you get out away from SPFD every
once in a while.

I bought my cheapest scope at a thrift shop for $10.  It was in a
pile of CB's, turntables, 8088 PC parts, and steam irons.  Ask around
and keep your eyes peeled.
