I just missed out on a Tek 7904 scope (four trace)
with four plug-

Yes, that was a pretty decent deal, especially if you don't have
to pay to ship it. Assuming it's functional of course. They've been
known to go for less, especially if they're all beaten up, but if
it's in good shape a 7904 can easily fetch $299.
Looks like a 500mhz scope, but with plugins good for
200mhz and a
curve tracer.
Umm...the curve tracer (7CT1N probably) came with it?? That
would've been a *serious* score then. That plugin alone typically
goes for $150-300.
Are plugins for that scope readily avaiable and
reasonably priced?
Yes, they're all over the place. There are some really neat ones
available for 7000-series scopes, too...Differential amplifiers,
logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, the aforementioned curve tracer,
all sorts of stuff. It's a fantastic platform.
