content: My first scope was the crap H-313 from CCCP. Really bad quality scope with a poor trigger... Pictures not taken by me.EDIT:Note the small screen and weird input connectors(not BNCs!!!)My father bought the scope in 1980s... My unit was manufactured in 1982. It's very lightweight.

content: That at least has collection value as vintage Soviet equipment. The QDSO won't even function as paperweight.

I can predict how the video will go: 0:00-2:30: Talking about it. 2:30-3:00: Connecting it. 3:00: Bang and flash, you can't really see anything. 3:01: It's broken. I say it needs at least a few kV up its ass, but without the microsecond destruction of a cap bank.

content: Define "success". They're not exactly everywhere, but there's still a big enough pile of them new on eBay to smell them seated at your computer... There are a number of sellers on Alibaba who claim to be able to supply thousands per week. (Whether or not that's true is not something I'd like to test.) I certainly wouldn't mind one of those being sacrificed to Mike's amusing wrath. It's not hard to find usedrealoscilloscopes selling for around the price that turd is currently going for, so it's not like some poor beginner is being deprived of the ability to get started in electronics.
