I use both analogue and PC-based scopes (Picoscope etc).

I would recommend something like this:

t_Equipment_ET?hash=item1e5a0e6fbd

They come up quite regularly and make an excellent workhorse for simple
scope checking on 8-bit circuitry (I use one myself). The built-in
component tester is particularly useful for finding dodgy in-circuit
diodes, transistors, caps, etc.

Hi all.

OT, but am sure someone here might be able to help. It is time I added
an
oscilloscope to my resources to aid fault finding and diagnostics in
(mostly) BBC related kit.

Was looking to spend around ?100. Saw a Hitachi V212 20MHz for ?50 /
V522
50MHz ?65 or possibly a PC connected Digital Storage Scope 40MHz like
this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230424501463

Does anyone have any thoughts which might be a good direction to go in?

-Mark
