[sdiy] philips oscilloscope, any good?

[Theo]

Usually very good.
Most Philips scopes are true two beam scopes, no worry about chopping or
alternate modes.
The low end models come with a single time-base but one model up you already
get two in depended time-bases, basically two scopes charring one display.
With other brands (Tek, HP, Goldstar) 'dual time base' refers to a kind of
magnifying mode, on the Philips dual time base really means two time bases.

Go up the model ladder again and you get knobs for the usual chopping and
alternate stuff. Still labeled a 2 beam scope but these do 4 traces.
BTW Philips scopes now go under the Fluke label.
