if anyone has an extra sitting around, I'd take it.
Even with a bad sweep rate switch ( the weakest part
of this one ).
As a 465 owner as well, I agree that it's one of the classic scopes.
I'll add that if you do get one, get the manual as well. Tek scope
manuals are wonderful and worth their weight in widgets.
However, there are places where a DSO is far more valuable. As an
example, suppose you need to look at a 20 microsecond string of
pulses that are triggered every 300 milliseconds. It'll be close to
impossible to see them with a regular analog scope, but a DSO will
show them nicely.
