This was prompted by my experience with an MSOX3104T which I am returning. I've got 3 DSOs at present, but my analog scopes are socketed transistor units which are way too much work to maintain. Also they are 60 & 100 MHz dual trace.
I'd get a 7000 series mainframe, but I just don't have the space. I specifically want an analog scope which I can adjust to have minimal overshoot. I thought the 3-4% overshoot of my MSO-2204EA was bad. Then I saw the 7% overshoot of the MSOX3104T.
I want something that I *know* I can trust. A soldered transistor 485 would suit me fine, but I don't know how to determine that a unit is soldered. In fact, now that I think about it, that's probably what I want. It has no digital parts unlike later models.
