I am looking to purchase a entry/mid-level O-scope and have been eyeing a
BK precision 2125A (30Mhz, Dual Trace, Analog).

** Looks much like any other, low cost Asian made scope - except for the
inclusion of delayed sweep.

Like all of them I have seen, there is no mention of a magnetic shield
being fitted to the CRT - this means the trace will wobble or shimmer if
ever you bring an AC supply transformer near the unit. Nearly ALL the famous
brand US or European brand scopes have magnetic ( ie Mu Metal ) shields on
the CRT to eliminate this.

Whether this matters to YOU depends on what sort of work you intend doing
and how you like to install the scope on your work bench.

Scopes are very much " horses for courses" and what one user loves another
will just HATE !!

Personally, I cannot bear to use a digital scope.

My Tek TDS2012 doesn't have a CRT shield!
