content: Hi, if you still have the scope I am interested and live locally, but a new DS1054Z is currently available delivered for £348 from Rigol UK, so the price would have to be a used price.Regards,Andrew.

content: onhttps://www.rigol-uk.co.ukthe DS1074Z is shown at £461.00 + Vat (£553.20). Comparing to the DS1054Z the only difference that I could spot was the bandwidth. As the scope has been unofficially upgraded to 100MZ I can't see why it would be better than the 1054 having the same upgrade.The OP also shows that all of the options are enabled. This would add considerable cost however if these are also unofficial I can't see that they add much to the second hand value.

content: Quote from: alanb on August 25, 2016, 04:25:27 pmThats a DS1074Z Plus which is ready for an MSO upgrade. The OP has a plain DS1074Z which is much closer to the DS1054Z (disregarding the fact that the scopes are basically the same).

content: I wasn't aware on the Plus option. I can't see the current price of a plain DS0714Z.

content: Hi,I bought the DS1074z instead of the DS1054z, as I wanted a guaranteed 70MHz bandwidth, and didn't want to risk being stuck at 50MHz if the hack didn't work for any reason.I see that a new Rigol 1074z costs around £550, so £350 seems reasonable to me for a lightly used one, but I am certainly open to offers.It's a bit of a funny situation. I don't know if there is any significant difference between the models at the top of the DS1000z range and a hacked DS1054z, but the conversation above kind of suggests that even though there are a large differences in the new prices of the various models within a range, the second-hand value will always be that of the bottom in the range.Anyway, if anyone is interested, I'm selling it as a 70MHz DS1074z, which I will restore to the factory defaults, or leave it with the 100MHz, all options hack installed, whichever the buyer prefers.I will consider any reasonable offers.Gary

content: Quote from: g0hjq on August 26, 2016, 10:20:53 amIt's a DS1074Z Plus that currently costs £550. That superceded the plain DS1074Z which you seem to be offering. Using the Wayback Machine to look at Rigol UK in Jan this year when they last sold the plain DS1074Z,here, showed them selling at £420 inc VAT.

content: But even then: asking 350 pounds for something which can be bought new with warranty for less just isn't realistic. The badge may be different but the DS1074Z is practically equal to the DS1054Z because of the possibility to hack it and the latter happens to be cheaper.
