Old Tek makes sense, but I need new smell and low EHT (1.3KV) - and small size for minimal waste of bench space.
Custom modules and high voltage frighten me. I have been bitten by high voltage before
At the end of the day... this is a toy for fun and education, not a professional tool.
I am 60 years old and miss analogue scopes - but not so much that I want to use one for any real job
EDIT: I guess next question is how to 2nd scope around safely with RIGOL DS1054Z scope on MS10 that contains unexpected -1.3 kV without spending a fortune on fancy high voltage probes?
The 'scope you are looking at is the horizontal format version of the little Jaycar one I bought a few years back.
139.20 Pounds Sterling seems like a "ripoff" to me----that corresponds to $A240.80, for what is basically, the same device I bought for $A139.00 .
OK, inflation does happen----but, in general, the prices of test equipment have consistently fallen over the ensuing years.
That said, it isn't at all a bad little 'scope, & I used it for a lot of jobs which, without any kind of Oscilloscope, would be a lot harder to resolve.
Of course, it wasn't any thing like what I was used to with work 'scopes.
What does happen to these, is that the knobs break after a while, the vertical input BNC connector starts to unscrew, which makes the wire on the back fall off-----all easily fixable.
The tube HT switchmode supply croaked on mine, but it was also fixable without much hassle.
I eventually bought a Tektronix 7613 from a Hamfest,
Forty or so years old, & it hasn't failed yet-----& it cost the same as the little 10MHz Jaycar thing.
I'm even more ancient than you, & I've only used one digital 'scope for real work.
Even then, when an old analog with one faulty channel became available, I dropped the DSO like a "hot spud"!
Of course, modern DSOs are a lot better than those early beasts.
