Paul, Anyone,

If you're out here!: I'm seriously thinking about getting a scope. The
following
eBay auction lists a Tek 2465 for $350. The listing says the scope powers up
and
displays four dots. Is this something to be worried about? Otherwise, it
looks
like a good deal. Probably a lot more scope than I'll need.

Any help would be appreciated...

Greg (getting ready to actually solder!)

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.
