As long as the words "HP" or "Agilent" do not appear ANYWHERE on the oscilloscope, you should be just fine.


Heh. That's one of the rules of thumb that doesn't seem to have changed
very much. ;-)


There is one exception: The 130C was an outstanding oscilloscope.
It, of course, has been steadily downhill since.


The 185 sampling scope was stunning. Heavy and ugly, but stunning.
Dual-trace, 5 GHz bandwidth, about 10 ps RMS jitter, using *tubes* in
about 1962.

Wasn't tht the one with an impossible to reach fuse in it?

The one where they build the oscilloscope by laying the fuse on the production line and assembling everything else around it?
