"Is
Fry's a good place to get scopes?"
Fry's isn't a good place to buy anything. They would be the LAST
place I'd buy any test gear from.
I personally think you'll be better off with a late model used
TEK scope (my fav is the 2465A right now) than anything you'd
be able to buy new in your price range.
You should be able to find a 2465 in decent shape for $1000-$1500
Fry's is a topic unto itself. Love em, hate em, but they likely have that
weird part you were looking for that the last four
electronics/computer/etc. store didn't stock anymore. Its like asking if
the jungle is a good place to get an elephant, sure, but it is a BIT
dangerous.
I would shop for a scope the same way as anything else, carefully figure
out what your requirements are, ask some smart people, shop for price.
And don't expect their employees to know a scope from an elephant.
