I have a $2000.00CAD (including expenses) budget for a new or used
oscilloscope.
I tend to do smps and uC projects.

Any suggests of what to look for?

I've been browsing Ebay.
I've been looking at Tek scopes from the 90's.
A Tek 2465 for $66 bucks ..that's scary.... :O

That's rather odd. Most people come here asking for advice on a scope
with a budget of 100 bucks or so which is a bit limited.

2 thousand bucks leaves you wide open. Within reason you can have more
or less whatever you fancy.

A quick ebay look found about 3 or 4 of just about anything you want
depending where your interests lie.

Wprk out what you want, then go to ebay. Avoid names you never heard of.
Simple rule really.

I guess stay away from the Nagafoogitzosushi scopes :)
