Check these people out - have done a couple purchases ( nothing major - just
some parts and components ) but have been really happy with them!  Fast

A scope is probably the most useful "major" tool to get.

Hi all.  My dorkness is going to new levels.  I'm wanting to buy a scope.
For
our applications, besides dual tracing, frequency counter, and at least
100mhz(?); what things should I consider and look for in my purchase?  I'm
probably going to opt for an hp or tektronix any preferences and particular
models?  I'm looking to buy one used so older model numbers suggested would
be
appreicated.  Some ones I've considered are 465/466/475A techtronix and the
2236, 2246 which are a bit more sophisticated.  Anything I should look out
for?
Thanks,
Quint
