Looking for oscilloscope recommendations

[pootycat]

If someone gives you, or can find one at a thrift-shop for a couple of bucks, any scope with a 4-6 MHz bandwidth will work. That's what most TV techs in the 60s used. But, much, much better scopes are available on Ebay, for not a whole lot of money. In the 80s, I worked as a Radio/TV engineer, and the scope we had was, first, a Lavoie 245 (a clone of the Tek 545), and then, a Tek 465. Those were standards of the industry. I don't recommend a 545: You'll pay more for shipping, than for the scope, itself. But good 465s are available at reasonable prices. Whatever you get, I recommend one with a dual time-base. That let's you view the test signals in the vertical interval very easily.
