content: Aliexpress has the 11/11 event, and most U.S. retailers (Amazon, etc.) have black friday (11/25) and cyber monday (11/28) sales, sometimes on new year's too. Anything that you think would be a popular deal, drop it in the thread.

content: Where's the "hobbyist upgrade"? Free for hobbyists, or "affordable" by someone's definition? I'm thinking this unit with built in AWG and Bode plot might be a good Christmas gift for my son who is pursuing his EE right now.

content: I didn't know the Plus was on sale, $999 is a very good price. I see the Rigol 5074 is down to $799 which is good as well. Tempting

Hobbyist upgrade to 350MHz.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rigol-MSO5074-OB-Digital-Oscilloscope-Channels-4-Bandwidth-70-Mhz-8GS-s-Sampling/334621601386/The discount is also as good as the Siglent SDS2104X Plus, like the "Old Printer" said, this scope and price are also very good. Recently Dave post a video talking about this scope.

content: I haven't been paying attention to scopes in a while, but thought the Rigol 5074 was $999 normally. Pretty sure that's what it was when it came out. Did they "permanently" chop $200 off? Or am I just completely wrong..

content: Quote from: Trader on November 10, 2022, 04:58:35 amIt's the same price on the Tequipment website, so you can get the EEVblog discount (but I guess if you also want free shipping, you have to call or chat).Same price and discount at Saelig.

content: Hi Staticresident, you are right, I didn't see it before, maybe it's a Return, but that seller "TEquipment" is very professional, I'm sure the scope will be fine with a warranty.The cheaper New Rigol MSO5074,$799+ Shipping, I found is from "ValueTronics", another good company.https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSO5074-Rigol-Mixed-Signal-Digital-Oscilloscope-NEW-4-Channels-Bandwidth-70-Mhz-8GS-s/184610595304/Quote from: staticresident on November 11, 2022, 11:46:52 am
