Any experience about Yokogawa DL 1200A or DL 1540 ?

There are some for sale for 140€. They are quite compact 4 channel scopes. Bandwidth is only 150 or 100MHz.

The front panel is not a traditional one.
Amazing machines. https://www.youtube.com/user/denha (It is not me...)

Yokogawa has a good reputation and those scopes are worth that kind of money in my opinion. However, the CRTs need to be checked for burn-in - if they have it, I personally wouldn't buy them.

Also, they may need replacement of the internal battery, described here: https://www.suwatsu.com/hobby/report/report_0002.htm

btw, if you don't have a use for two scopes, I'd look for a better deal for 280 Euro - you may get more bandwidth and samplerate this way.

Yokogawa is very decent gear, owned a few over the years. But 200Msa is pretty poor for that 150MHz unit. Will probably be good for repetitive signals but for everything else your actual BW will be a *lot* less than the 150MHz advertized.

I don't need more scopes but thought about hinting about these to local hobbyists. I already got Rigol DS1054Z, free DSOX 1102G and  a free Tektronix TDS7104.
