MOTM

Well,

For better or worse, I put a bid in last night for the Tek 2464 below and
got it for $349! (Tony, if I missed that one, I think I would have gone your
route.)

Anyway, now I wait for it to arrive. I'm assuming it'll need calibration, so
I'm now looking for a local shop (Cleveland) who does that. Any ideas how
often this needs to be done and how much it should cost?

Thanks everyone for your advice. As I'm just a hobbyist, I really appreciate
hearing from the experts.

Greg

a) there is no better analog scope than a 2465, except a 2465B :)

b) the readout intensity is turned all the way down, so I can't see what the
sweep setting is, however.....

c) I am 99.99% sure the scope is in X-Y mode, which means the horizontal
sweep
knob is simply turned all the way to one side.

d) the price is right.
