[sdiy] scope aging

[Fernando de Izuzquiza]

Thanks a lot to all for your help (Harry, Steve, Ingo...)
Yes 250 it's just too much. In UK and US there's much more offers and at a
better price, but I'm in the Iberian Peninsulae, wich is great for sun,
food, wine, siesta, some type of grass, but not for electronics nor for
second hand market in general. Not at all. People just put old things in the
bin (after the siesta)

Well, the Hameg instruments looks very pro but I wanted to know about real
world experiences...
It looks like the Telequipment is very popular too...
Still don't know... any other experiences still very wellcome.

Thanx again!

Don't know about the Telequipment, but I own a Hameg that is even
older, a HM412. It needed one major repair once, the high voltage
secondary winding of the mains transformer was broken. I have heard of
other Hamegs that had that issue too. It also needed a smaller repair a
longer time ago, but that was only a zener diode. Otherwise it works
still fine and bright, but I haven't used it very often.

250 Euro seems a lot for a used scope to me. You can get a new dual
trace scope for 300 Euro from Conrad for instance (not a Hameg of
course). But when I had that mains transformer issue with my Hameg I
looked at Ebay too for used scopes, they are indeed quite expensive.
