I too purchased some of those inexpensive Chinese Scope probes that I use with my Tektronix 7603 Oscilloscopes.
BTW, check out the Tektronix 7603. I have two of these and they use the 7000 series plugins. Nice thing about a scope with plugins, if it malfunctions its highly likely to be with the plugin which you can purchase off Ebay.

As for probes, I'd use HP, Tek, etc if I could afford them. Instead, I've just been using cheapo ones I got on ebay like these. I doubt they really work well up to 100 MHZ, but are fine for lower frequency work. |
