I want a scope for Christmas :)
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

I've been doing a little analog scope shopping.
I find Ebay scopes often too creepy to buy.
If I'm going to spend $100 on shipping... It better work. Otherwise
I'd rather spend $100 on shipping a "new" scope.

Analog scopes are not totally out of production yet!

The Iwatsu ss-7847A 470Mhz 4ch analog scope..
One site has it listed at ~$2500.00US. (over budget but interesting)
http://www.iti.iwatsu.co.jp/e/products/ss/ss_top_e.html

Something like that avoids the: "Surprise! ..It's a dud" with an old
dubious $500 Ebay Tek2465B 400Mhz 4 ch with the knobs falling off.

On Ebay somebody has a Iwatsu SS7840 listed but they are also calling
it a Lecroy LA314...
Iwatsu SS7840 = Lecroy LA314 ?? True?

The Lecroy LA314H analog scope (470Mhz, 4ch) is discontinued.
