I found a Tektronix 465 o-scope today for $50 - it's missing probes, and
the owner was going to look for the manual, but I'm wondering if this
would be a good scope for hobby purposes?
It's not a 'good' scope, it's an _Excellent_ 'scope.
FWIW, these normally sell for a few hundred pounds/dollars (at least in
the UK), so you did well!

Tony -- it's probably that he got it from a downsizing company rather than a
reseller that buys them up and marks them up.
I saw the same thing at Concurrent Computer -- but I couldn't get them
to let me get one of the 465's and the resellers marked them up from $50
to $400.
