I just bought the Rigol DS1052E from an eBay seller, outside of eBay. They showed selling a couple units right at the end of last year for $419USD free shipping, and the reviews are all positive (overall 99.9%). Unfortunately the seller's auction is at $549 now, but I thought... "hey, you just sold one for $419 about a week ago... maybe I can still get one for that price". Sure enough, they were willing to deal with me ($419USD free shipping). 5 days ago I sent payment, the day after they shipped through EMS, and already today it's through US customs and in USPS's hot little hands (soon to be mine!). If anyone wants the seller's info, please PM me. I don't want to get them in any kind of trouble if Rigol is forcing them to list it at new MSRP prices. I don't think it matters much, but I'd rather error on the safe side of karma. They were really great keeping me informed about shipping status via email, and I would definitely go back if this scope is everything I hope it will be. That would be really sweet if we could modify our front ends to run up to 100MHz, but I'm ok with the limitations. I mean, it was only $419 for crying out loud and it's WAY more than I currently have (which is a couple super old analog scopes that are more like museum pieces). -Brett --- End quote --- So I just wanted to update you guys on the status of my scope. I paid for it on Jan 5th. It shipped out Jan 6th. It cleared US Customs on Jan 8th. It was at my doorstep this morning at 8:30am on Jan 11th! (only 6 days) I JUST left before that for work... so I just missed it, and apparently no one else at my house heard the door. Oh well, I'll pick it up at 8:30am tomorrow morning. The USPS tag said it was shipped Express Mail! Woohoo, sure was fast. I'll update with my first impressions tomorrow. |

The unit appears to be working OK, and appeared NIB. Strange thing is that the calibration cert is dated Nov 2008? This unit came new from a US based online supply house. I know these probally don't move as fast as the 1050e does, but that date is from before the official release date. Could they still have had original stock from their first shipment? I don't want a "return" unit! The firmware is 1.05. Could someone check the firmware for there 1102E? Thoughts? --- End quote --- No one? BTW did your new rigols come with a protector sheet on the LCD? Mine didn't. I've never seen that before. |
