Hi everyone. New user here. I'm not working in the electronic field - I'm actually a neuroscientist but keen to get into electronics for the fun.
I've been looking for a basic scope, initially I was recommended to buy an analogue 100mHz, 2 channel model, but it seems digital scopes are possibly even a better option now. (The person who advised me hasn't used digital for over 15yrs , so there might have been a few updates). (Please don't ban me if I'm posting anything inappropriate)
Anyways, here's my question:
I came across a Rigol DS2072 being sold "for parts". The seller says it turns on, but 'needs to be serviced'. A screenshot shows that there are several "expired" Trials. I know this particular model has been hacked before, so I wondered if buying this would be a cheap way of getting a sweet scope.
