[sci.electronics] Need storage scope recommendation...

phd@speech1.cs.cmu.edu (Paul Dietz) (09/29/87)

I've been given the task of getting a working storage scope into our
auditory perception lab, and I'm looking for recommendations. We have
an old Tek mainframe, but Tek wants ~$1000 to get it working again.
Does anyone out there in net.land know of any good storage scopes
in this price range? Our requirements are not terribly stringent:
this is mostly for audio work. But we do need storage. Digital
is ok as long as the sampling rate is at least 50kHz on non-repeatitive
waveforms.

The other alternative is to find a cheaper repairman. Has anyone
had experience with getting Tek scopes repaired/cal.ed by someone
other than Tek?

As always, any suggestions are gratefully appreciated.
