Things seem pretty slow on the list today, so I'll ask these off-topic questions.

I have been given an opportunity to buy a Tektronix 465M 100 MHz scope for $75.00. I understand that this is the military version of the Tek 465. It is, of course, being sold "as is" , but I trust the guy who is selling it and everything seems to work fine. This price is just for the scope w/cover and power cord....no probes or manual.

Hopefully, some of you electronics gurus out there can answer these questions:

1. Is the 465M a good scope (I've never heard anything bad about any Tek products, but I thought I'd ask!)?

2. Is this a good price, assuming everything is working?

3. How difficult will it be to have this scope tested/repaired/calibrated (are there still parts available, etc.)?

Thanks!
