All, For those with sincere interest in obtaining a 'scope (Tektronics), I would suggest you contact Mr. Scope - Bob Garcia ([email protected]) to see what he has available. Bob is a former Tek technician and offers Tek 'scopes at very reasonable prices. He is also quite the gentleman - one of the 'scopes I ordered from him, he sent and did not expect any payment until I was satisfied with the product. You just cannot get any better service than that.
