Title: FLUKE 123 compared to tekscope THS700 series
Post by: R_G_B_ on May 24, 2015, 09:15:20 am
A question is the fluke 123 a more recognised scopemeter than the tek ths700 series the reason I ask this is that I see fluke 123 scope meters with battery missing and display faults going for good money even ones that are said not to be working getting sold at a good price. I had no trouble selling one with a display fault for a good price. I am struggling to sell a tektronix THS720. This is a much better oscilloscope than the standard fluke with its higher bandwidth and channel isolation. The fluke has a good trend-plot feature but a much lower bandwidth.

Any answers appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

A post from 5 years ago ...

Any way my question is about the same, I am about to buy a 2th hand scope and I am looking for a good quality one but I don't have to much money to spend.
Thats why I am looking for a second hand one. Handle scope would be good, I have one (Chinese: Hantek 8060) but I have had a bad experience with it. I'm looking also for a analog one, like a Tek 453a for 140€ with probes.

Tek THS720 is still a good option? I can get one for 260€
I see the Fluke 97 are much more expensive, do they really have more value in therms of quality ? I see some Fluke 20MHz at more then 350€ and a few years old.

Any of your comments are welcome.
