[time-nuts] A little quick advice, please

[J. Forster]

I got my TDS 1002 along w/ 4 NOS probes for $280. I got mine at a flea,
but you might want to post a WTB on Tekscopes2 or TestEquipTrader on
YahooGroups.

Also, you can likely get a Tek 465B or 2xxx analog scope for <$200.

Also, try calling a few leasing companies or dealers to see if they have
anything.

Best,

-John
