Thanks,
I gotta go search around for something handy that does the job but doesn't cost an arm and a leg...
I wanna save my money for new machines to play with... :96-

I just bought a used TDS-210 Tektronix LCD scope last month for $450 off a guy in Colorado that had it listed on Craigslist. It's nice and small... and very lightweight.

You mean something like this?

Hi SB

Have you considered the USB/PC option
Here is a review

Yup!

Except mine has a beautiful screen and a power button on it. ;)   It also came with 2 Tektronix brand scope probes.

you might also consider a logic analyzer for the computer based systems.  there are some interesting usb versions of those as well.

Cheers,

What? You guys think I'm a millionare or something?  :131-
I just have two machines at home... An S+ and a S2000 :72-
I can't go out and buy all that stuff!

I thought you could talk your way into anything.  :97- :97-

Time to trade that Callaway set in for some parts! Swing ... and a miss, how many mulligans do we get??  :97-

I could talk my way into trouble that's how good I am.... :72-

I think I've used them all up by now.... :96-

Bunker,

My old office building that I built about 5-6 years ago was in walking distance to about 10 Callaway buildings, and Taylor Made, Titelist, and......., and......, and..... It was Golf Company Mecca!  :109- :109- :109- :39- <---- Bunker  :72-

Maybe I should cruise there at night time and check out the Dumpsters for you??? One man's trash is another man's treasure!!! You seem handy enough, with a little heat and a good vice, you could straighten out a Big Bertha, couldn't you!???!  :97- :97- :97- If I go, I will wear a Tyvex suit, a respirator, and 10 pairs of latex gloves just in case someone pissed in the dumpster, or they have rotting food in the same dumpster!  :72- :25-

CH :95- :193-

I have some you can borrow. I was saving them up to make Mulligan stew but you're welcome to them.  :91- :30- :79- :200-

well...it's Friday! I'm going golfing....YeeHoo!! :91- :71-
Catch you all later!

Good for you! So, what did you shoot?

A cool 79...but it was only between 50-58 degrees outside...Brrr!

Wow. :3- That's better than anyone I know :131-  .. unless you only played 9 holes. :96-


So to get back on topic, are there any other recommendations for a good, but inexpensive scope?

I really haven't gotten into it too much just yet because I'm sure there's a lot to learn in that department as well.
I have to do some more reading and see if it's worthwhile for me to get one.
First of all, I don't know a lot about them and how to use them properly to diagnose problems in circuitry.
It's just another tool that I want to get for my workbench...however, I need to learn more about their capabilities.
What good is getting a scope when I may only pick it up once per year?
I want a tool that will be handy for what I do...not just because I think it would be cool to have one.
Shows you how much I know about scopes... :72-
Do schematics and drawings give you any ideas how the wavelengths should appear on a scope for instance?
