Hi Markk.
I have an old 100Mhz Tek 7603 mainframe scope I picked up at Hoss Traders (a
HAM "festival") last year. It was like 10x cheaper than that new B&K, and
about 80x cheaper that it sold for back in the early 80s! What's also cool is
all of the different modules you can find for it on evilbay (although you can
never be sure what you're getting on there). The only downside is that it's a
workbench hog. Oh, and it's not very mobile. But it sure works nice and looks
the part.
Man, I wish I had some spare $$$ for some of those Encore UEGs (or a MOTM uSeq
for that matter!).
Cheers,
George

ahhhh, what a great day it is... I rec'd my cables today !!! :-) and
along side that box was another one... it contained a pair of Encore Electronic
Event Generators... ahhh what bliss... now I will be getting a couple of
shipments from Paul in the next few weeks or so... it's like Christmas all
month... !!!
Small quiz for all that "build" their own modules... do you own an
oscilloscope ?? Paul has been recommending ones for me, (thanks for the help
Paul :-)) but man... kind of expensive... although, I did find a B&K Precision
100mhz, brand new on sale for $899.00 down from $1599.00, seems like a good
buy... Paul recommends no less than 50mhz for a "good" scope...

also a 60mhz version, for $789.00 down from $1099.00
pretty obvious which one has the better savings... $700.00 off of the 100mhz
!
a 2190b If it seems like a great investment that will last me 20 years, I
will just get it instead of the Tek 2235 that is 15 years old...
ok, everyone bombard me with opinions... thanks
