content: If you "need" a scope, does it really need to be digital (why?), is a secondhand Philips, Tek, etc. (any other) not a option?// i bought a Tek 465B for 50 USD...Whats the minimal bandwidth, channels?

content: Quote from: 5282 on January 07, 2017, 12:50:50 pmDon't just ignore analogue scopes because they're heavy. Factor the cost of shipping into the price, and if it's still in budget, go for it. Keep an eye out locally and maybe you can avoid shipping altogether.

content: Quote from: 5282 on January 06, 2017, 10:15:24 amI thought (I could easily be wrong), that the idea was that a relatively young person, with limited buying ability from their family. But who was showing great promise with their electronics, might be occasionally helped advance their electronics by members here.E.g. By selling them a spare analogue oscilloscope for a reduced charge.Whereas your situation seems to be different. I'm NOT good at deciding about such things.As others have suggested. When your circumstances/country etc dictate that there is LIMIT resources. You have to cut back.So maybe consider, going out and finding a very good deal on a nice analogue scope, and if/when things pick up in the future, get something better.(My opinion) I don't approve of threads like this (I think people should earn things for themselves). So I will now leave this thread (** I mean I WILL/may respond to replies to any of my comments. But otherwise don't intend to be posting in it again).

content: I have an OWON DS8202 that is in bad shape but works. The power supply board partially blew up so I soldered a wire from an external power brick to the battery terminals and it works fine. In all the opening and closing it I damaged the USB port but really the software for this scope is so crap that it's not worth hooking up to a computer or you can change it (I have some new ones I can supply). Otherwise it's a working 200MHz / 2GS/s scope. Granted it's not the most highly respected but it works (just remember that antialiasing is mostly non existent).How much could you offer for it, I doubt I'd get much on ebay.

content: 5282, you're going to get a much better response from the forum if you take the time to explain your situation. Tell us how you're involved in electronics, what sort of projects you're interested in/are working on and how an oscilloscope would help you. Simply saying you need one, doesn't exactly sound like a compelling reason for forum members to offer one - as vealmike already humorously pointed out with the McLaren example (this is how you spell it, by the way).

content: I just spotted this on Ebay. There are likely a couple of hundred of these scopes getting dumped on Ebay over the next weeks/months by many sellers so you should be able to get one very cheap (say for around $50 at most and ask for USPS shipping instead of UPS or Fedex with their insane prices):http://www.ebay.com/itm/GW-Instek-GDS-2102-Digital-Storage-2-Channel-100-MHz-Oscilloscope-/232204623093

content: Don't worry your post would have been removed long ago it is just that while I was okay to tolerate one such post two is rather over massaging the point that some people would want to make. Right above the quote it will always give the name of the user who originally posted the text.
