I've seen many oscilloscopes online on crowd funding campaigns. I've never been certain of which to get, if any.

If you want to, write to me privately and give me an idea of where you live -- I have an old osciloscope (in a closet that is hard to access ;-) that I'd probably be willing to sell at a reasonable price.
I can't remember the brand offhand, it is approximately 40 years old, I never used it hard, and the original cost was over $1000 (I bought it new). I'm sure the bandwidth is at least 20 MHz., and may be higher. (I just don't remember -- I know I wanted to find something that would be suitable for the clock speed of the Digital Group computer I was building (from a kit).)
Reasonable price -- well, I'm thinking about that. I used it to work on my Digital Group computer kit that had some problems (back around 1977), and haven't used it since. I sort of like having it sit in the closet in case I need it (or I get my son interested in something for which he'd use it), but, if I'm realistic, neither will probably happen.
Hmm, I guess I might be willing to sell the DG computer as well, if anyone is interested (uses a Z-80 CPU) and has some problems.
