I have a ton of old Tektronix stuff that I was thinking of selling on Ebay.
Most is the 7000 series, though I do have some 5000 and 500 series.  The
500 series is pretty much for collectors... old tube equipment (If anyone
needs any 500 series plugins, give a shout)

The 7000 series is nice, it uses modular plugins to accomplish many
different functions.  I have vertical amps, horizontal amps, and multimeter
plugins.  I could set you up with a complete scope that also has a DMM
readout on the screen (only catch is that the DMM doesn't do AC
measurements... but then you have a scope!!!).

If you are interested I have the following mainframes:

7704A  200Mhz, 4 bays, analog, excellent condition
7834     400Mhz, 4 bays, analog storage, excellent condition, storage
functions OK
7603      100Mhz, 3 bays, analog, good condition


I also have multitudes of dual channel vertical amps (including
differential / comparator). I have one logic analyzer plugin with all
cables.

A good assessment of fair value is http://www.vaxxine.com/phil/scopes/scope

Prices on Ebay have looked pretty good recently, I guess it is a reflection
of the economy : (

Hello,

I'm looking at getting an oscilloscope for myself, but I don't want to
spend a ton.  Plus, I won't be using it that much.  I'd file it under
the "nice to have" category.  I doubt I will be doing any high speed
circuits or anything.  I'll probably use it mostly on digital logical
and computer peripheral interfaces (PS/2, etc.).  Could anyone
recommend a good beginners scope around the $300-$500 range?  I don't
mind looking at used stuff on eBay, but I don't know enough to not get
screwed.

Bitscope looked interesting, too.  Has anyone had experiences with it?

Thanks,

-Dave
