content: Hi,I'm selling a new Teledyne LeCroy WaveJet 354T 500Mhz oscilloscope with 4 channels. I got this for quite a bargain, but as a newbie it is way too powerful for my needs which is why I'm selling it off. I decided to put it for sale on eBay since you have a "Money Back Guarantee" there which may make people more confident in purchasing the scope considering we're not talking about pennies here.I've put this out with a starting bid for$1500 USDdollars including free shipping from Norway (in reality, the shipping is included in the price) but the scope goes for~$5000 USDdollars retail. I believe this is quite a good deal for a brand new scope with these specs. In Dave's video he said it was an okay scope for $5000 USD, so considering I'm way under that price it should be quite a decent scope for the priceYou can find the link to the auction here:http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/222370438577?(PS: I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this here, I read the sticky topic on the rules and I think I'm within the boundaries!)

content: I have the 350MHz version of the WaveJet 334 (the prior model). I paid £1500 for it but that was about 4 years ago (it was new old stock) so $1500 for the 500MHz model is probably a fair price now but I wouldn't say it was a bargain.You should state whether or not four 500MHz probes are included as these are pretty expensive as separate items - perhaps show a photo of them.I can confirm that I've been very pleased with my Wavejet. It boots quickly and is accurate. The Equivalent Time Sampling I find useful. It does everything I want of a scope on the analogue side.The negatives are it is very noisy (has a noisy fan), only has 500k of memory and doesn't have high framerates like more recent scopes. It doesn't decode SPI or other protocols though LeCroy sell a separate (and expensive) unit to do this and also other external logic analysers can produce a trigger out for it. It is fairly basic functionally but for what it does it does very well. The T model you are selling has a proper USB interface which is good, mine doesn't (it can save to USB but can't accept commands).

It has a respectable update rate of thousands of waveforms per second, and the very good replay/segmented memory which was unusual on these smaller scopes at the time. The Touch version says it has 5Mpts of memory in single channel modes:http://cdn.teledynelecroy.com/files/pdf/wavejet-touch-datasheet.pdfSo overall a very capable day to day scope.
