What makes would you suggest, beyond Tektronix and
Hameg, are there any
other makes that are generally good and won't cost the earth second hand?
HP, Gould?
Alas good and cheap rarely go together...
In your position I'd avoid valved 'scopes. Not that _I_ have anyhting
against them, and and I happy to chat about Tekky 500 series units all
day. But such an instruemtn will probably need work. Great if that' what
you enjoy (and once fixed, it'll probably be good), but not if you want
something to plug in and sue.
I'd look at Tektronix, HP/Agilent (people moan about them, but only in
comparison to Tek :-)), Gould, LeCroy (not that you'll afford one!),
maybe soem of the batter Telequip (cheap Tektronix, basically), Philips,
Hameg (but watch the triggering!),. maybe Solartron/Schlumberger.
