I would recommend you get a guaranteed working Tek analog scope on
eBay, probably $100, $150 at most. The newer the better, but if it
is working when you get it, it will probably serve you long enough
to satisfy your needs.

DSOs are great once you have some familiarity with what to expect, but
can be very deceiving if you don't.
What Sam says. Years ago I sought advice here and on the basic
electronics newsgroup for buying a used 'scope. The consensus was to
get a Tek 465B. I found one for about a $100.00. It still works great
and has always been trouble free.

I looked on ebay and did not see anyting in that price range that I
would buy. There were some , but sold as is and not guranteed to work.
They probably will, but I would not take a chance on one if I did not
think I could repair it. Most did not have any probes either. Some
comming out of China are ok and you can get a pair for around $ 20.

I agree with the 465B scope, Probably the best analog scope for the
money. I bought one off ebay a few years ago, but it was over $ 200
without the probes. For that kind of money I would go to about $ 300
and get one of the China digital scopes.
