Hi Joshua! Farnell is pestering me with offers of Tektronix oscilloscopes for some months now. The last one is for a TBS1052B for approx. US$440.00 here in Brazil. Knowing our import duties, I would say it will cost slightly over half that in the USA or EU. I would buy a brand new oscilloscope, it will pay itself in the long run. My THS730A is 17 years old now and still working.
