My first oscilloscope
<< < (7/9) > >>
JohnnyMalaria:
Are you sure about the model number? There's a bunch of HP 54xxx scopes (e.g., 54503)
osteichthyes:
 Nope.

I haven't seen it yet, and our campus surplus has a rather antiquated website. No pictures and just the following:

OSCILLOSCOPE, HP 5403, SN: US36180581, 60 MHZ, POWERS ON NOT TESTED

It's quite inexpensive, so it might be a good place for me to start, if it's well regarded and will last a while.

It seems like maybe some 54603Bs were labeled 5403 on the face? No idea.

What is a reasonable price for a functioning 54603B? It seems like $30-50 ish?
JohnnyMalaria:
It could be this:

Can you go to the surplus store and look at it and maybe take a photo to post here?
osteichthyes:
I plan to go check it out tomorrow. If it is that  model, is $30 a decent price?

I can't say. $30 for any functioning scope seems pretty good especially since there'd be no shipping costs :)


Check to see if it has a power cord and, most importantly, probes.
