Cheap scope for new DIY'ers

[Rory McDonald]

I just bought a Tektronix 7403 rack mount 100Mhz scope with dual trace on
eBay for $150.00
How well did I do?

PS:
The vertical Amp modules are both #'s 7A16A and the sweep module is a 7B80

 NEW basic 2 channel 30MHz machine for $289USD.  I'm sure it's not the
 greatest thing in the world but miles better than nothing and possibly
 better than something that should be fantastic but isn't due to wear and
 intermitency (those cheap, untested, uncalibrated Tek 465s all over... a
 GREAT gamble if you win, TOTAL bummer if you lose). >>

My main scope is a Tek 7704...I just wish I had the cable for the logic 
analyzer plugin and some idea how to use it. Luckily, I can calibrate the 
scope, since I happened to find both the owners manual and the service
manual 
while dumpster diving some time ago.. I also have a Velleman handheld scope,

which is a great little piece of gear, especially for audio stuff, since
it's 
all low frequency.
