If considering an oscilloscope I would definitely recommend a modern, budget DSO. Religious wars aside, ...........
CROs are obsolete. ........
Unbeknownst to you you've just rekindled 2 religious wars, brand vs brand and CRO vs DSO !
CRO's are where I started and I wouldn't dream of turning back the clock and as you well know borjam with your embracement of modern tools they can do so much more.
Hell, even for the novices right of passage of building their first PSU how can they check for power ON overshoot with a CRO ? CRO Single shot mode ?
Hardly a "killer" application!
I could count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I have had to do this over the years, but if I had to, there is a "workaround" which worked OK when DSOs were "but a glint in the eye" of some crazy design Engineer.
Set the CRO for a very low free running speed, turn up the intensity, dim the room, operate the PSU "On" switch, watch the overshoot---done!
OK, it doesn't give you a nice permanent record, unless you have a "CRO camera" (If you did, you could leave out "dim the room")
Polaroid film is probably "unobtainium" these days, but with a decent digital camera, you can probably "bodge" something up.
Of course, I would probably just use the 7613's analog storage function these days, which would make taking a pic easier.
Dad the sparky keeps an eye on discussions here as he had a look yesterday and despite his comments about scopes being outside his field of knowledge you can bet your boots he'll be involved with his son getting up to speed on what scopes have to offer the novice. What he lacks in scope knowledge he will already know about basic waveforms whereas the son mostly won't. They'll make a good pair adventuring into electronics with him tempering the lads enthusiasm and adding his caution and wiser grey matlter while the lads inquisitive mind will that drag them both along together.
A not to be missed father son bonding time that I had with my youngest too.
Hell that was 15+ yrs back as he was 30 yesterday !
