Interestingly there is an authorized dealer about 90 minutes from me, except their web sites Siglent only had one product (SNA5000A) and their "Shop" had what looked like a default web site "TestRack Product Demonstration".  A key thing I was looking for (after price) was availability and shipping speed, not a word. Oddly, no street address either, just city and state.

But yes, I would have loved to drive over and pick one up, even if it costs the same or a bit more.  I buy all my (at least two orders of magnitude more expensive) camera gear in a shop in the same town (Bradenton, FL), and never order mail order.  But it's a real local store, with real people, and real products in the store.  This looked completely fake, probably people working from their homes, drop shipping product at best.  Maybe not even that .

Amazon has a huge advantage in fast shipping and online availability info, but I prefer local.  And I did actually try to buy local, just... that strange web site scared me away.  It's the only "local" I cold see.

Think you need look a bit harder at Test Rack Inc as they seem to have multiple locations covering 7 SE states with multiple sales reps responsible for different territories.
FL = Rich Muro and all his contact details are here:
https://www.testrack.com/sales-representatives/?v=1d20b5ff1ee9

Certainly worth a phone call to check what stock he actually has.  ;)

Fair enough, though to to your original point, it does not appear it is a local company, even if they have a local rep, and you said to spend money at my "local" dealer.

Nonetheless, it is done now. I did not mean to pick a fight over their abilities and should have hidden the name from the example.  My point was I bought from Amazon after trying to buy "locally" and deciding not to.

To the OP: my 01-05 SD1104X-E was made in spring 2022. As I stated here before, I bought it in june 2022 so it was quite fresh  :)

Thanks for the link, Tautech.

Thank you for that link, mine was Winter 2022, so reassuringly.  Now I know what that "new oscilloscope smell" smells like.   :)
