These new digital scopes must really be good. I assume that is what is responsible for putting the number of really great analog Tektronix scopes on Ebay. I have acquired enough of them to worry my wife. It seems like there is a never ending supply of 475A's at $300. It is a 250mhz scope with delayed sweep. Please keep buying the latest and greatest for commercial/academic use. It really helps at the bottom of the chain!
