hi,

seems russ is looking for al the oldtimers to get a scope.

So to speak simple: If you buy used & old equipment, it CAN always fail
and be hard to get repaired. But of course it is NOT PREDICTED that it
fails.

So go for the scope you like and can afford. with most of the premier
brands (Tek, HP, LeCroy) you are well fed. Of course, you have to pay
for the quality.

just my 2cts., hth
