Best place to buy a new Rigol scope in the UK?
« on: November 16, 2023, 09:34:39 pm »
I've decided to buy a Rigol DHO924 scope and my initial market search in the UK shows a surprising lack of dealers! So, looking for recommendations for a good supplier and a heads up for any deals available.

Cheers.

I've just bought a Siglent from Telonic in Wokingham. They also sell Rigol. Nice people to deal with and I got a small discount.

Telonic
Another vote for them,unlike some places they kept me informed about the progress of my order.The only thing to watch is they include a sales catalogue in with your order, tempting you with more shiny things to buy.

They are local to me so I booked a visit. They have a demo room so you can try before you buy.

I wanted to buy my 804 from Telonic but they had none in stock so bought from aliexpress as I was in a bit of a hurry for work. Ended up being significantly cheaper.

But I bought some better probes and accessories from Telonic and they were very nice to deal with. Price was good and the stuff came the next day. The guy (i forgot his name) was very helpful on the phone.

Is there even anyone else in the UK or Ireland distributing Rigol or just them? I see some on amazon but only a limited selection.
