I was going to buy one of those cheap digital Oscilloscope kits off of eBay but was told to check with this group and ask if anyone has a old working used Analog Oscilloscope that they would donate to me so I could test the circuits I have been building . I really like tinkering and have learned a lot in the past 2 years and a Oscilloscope would be my next piece of test equipment.

Yes, having a trainer kit (trainer board), an oscilloscope and sitting in an elecronics or electrical apprenticeship class is a great way to start out..
