[sdiy] meanwhile...scopes on ebay. Yes my fluke is more hassle than it's worth

[Bob Weigel]

Anyone need a scrap 97 for the display?  Actually the display works fine 
it appears still.  I powered it up yesterday after letting it sit for 
ages... it initially came up!  But..quickly the display information 
turned into chaotic garbage.  And when I tried to reboot it 'beep beep 
beep' again.  The reset routine I was given did nothing.  I put good 
batteries in it and that's where she lies. Dead dead dead.  I imagine it 
could be difficult to troubleshoot and get parts for so not sure what to 
do with it since it's such a cheap item.

Has anyone checked these out?  Usually I don't need high high speeds for 
the work I do.  Pretty good price for the features it seems and almost 
as portable as a scope meter in the practical realm. -Bob
