Hi

Does anyone know something about this oscilloscope ? 

I prepare to buy this model, but I don't know enough about him 




...sorry for my english

An old scope that was quite good when it was released back in 1997.
Here is the service manual. http://elektrotanya.com/yokogawa_sm700820-01e_020_dl2700_oscilloscope.pdf/download.html

This scope looks very nice!

Would be a cool find in NOS condition

Well, as already stated it came out in 1997, 150MHz bandwidth, was available with 2, 4, 6 or 8 channels and had a sample rate of 500MSa/s (half-channel) and 200MSa/s (all channels). I think 1M memory was standard, with up to 16M as option. There also was an MSO option.

Any reason you want this particular scope? Unless it's really cheap and/or you need more than 4 channels on a small budget I'm not sure I would buy this scope. These scopes were designed pretty much as long-term multi-channel recorders, and the update rate is generally poor (single digit updates/s). And if something breaks, getting spares is pretty much impossible.

I wouldn't rule out getting spares. I bought a DL1740 last year and much to my surprise it was very easy to obtain new custom ASIC front end amplifier chips.

Let's give it a value: $150 at most (in working condition with all probes, etc.)

The photo appears to be from this eBay auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262261015873

At that price? No way. Definitely not.

I don't think $150 is realistic, more like $300 to $500 for a working scope in good condition.

I agree, especially when considering this hasn't really been tested, there is a issue with some buttons and that the LCD screen looks very dim.

Those are some decent specs for a 1997 digital scope.

Yes, indeed. The sample rate is a bit low, but the large memory and 32bit MSO was quite unique back then. If I remember right it also comes with decent statistics, large memory FFT and history mode.
