If it helps, I have a TEK 2430a of the same vintage I will sell for $75. It is
a 2 channel digital/100 Mhz instrument and fully functional.

Hey guys,
I’m looking at getting a scope to setup a basic test bench at my place. Mainly
I’ll be using it to repair amateur radios, amplifiers, and maybe some debugging
of digital circuits later.
There is a guy on CL that is offering me an older Tektronix 2252 100Mhz analog
scope with digital storage and integrated volt-meter for $350. He can’t vouch
for its calibration.
Alternatively, I’m looking at the Rigol DS1102E which is the same price. It is
a Chinese made LCD based digital scope that is much smaller and portable and
seems to have good reviews. It is 1GSa/sec, rated 100MHz with a million point
storage.
Which do you think is the better investment? I know that the Tek is a high
quality device but it is over 20 years old and probably impossible to fix if
something breaks in it. The Rigol is new but probably not well made but the
portability and desk space I’d save seems like a real plus. I’m worried that
it won’t be high enough resolution for doing the radio repairs but most IF
frequencies in radios are around 465KHz so it might be fine.
Or, maybe one of you guys has an older scope you want to sell?
