Analog Oscilloscope Dual Trace 20-100MHz For Under $50 In The USA?
Jar-N2:
Hello. I'm kind of a beginner and I'm trying to get myself a basic setup for my ghetto bedroom workshop. I've acquired a half-decent soldering station, a few DMMs, a vast collection of hand-me-down tools, and a homemade bench power supply. I'm just missing a proper oscilloscope! I could also use a function generator, but one thing at a time, the oscilloscope takes priority. I don't have deep enough pockets to buy a decent modern Rigol or Siglent DSO, old analog CRT scopes are the way to go for me. Besides the price difference, I prefer the look and feel of those CRT scopes, it's something very special. I've been keeping an eye on ebay, but I feel that I might have better luck asking around on this forum.

You'll want to be a bit more specific about your location, the USA is 3,000 miles across and the cost of shipping an old scope from one side to the other is likely to exceed the value of the scope.

Your best bet is at a Hamfest.
Even there, "less than $50" is "stretching the bounds of friendship"!

You really shouldn't post your home address publicly on a worldwide forum, the postal code or nearest city would have been sufficient.
I'm way out on the west coast so I'm afraid I won't be of any help here. The hamfest suggestion is a good one, if there are any of those around anymore.
