As my first post I want to say it's great to be here and I would like to get some thoughts on a first oscilloscope, mainly DIY troubleshooting and hobby. I have some older A/V components as well as new, I like to get my hands dirty and generally see how things are working.
When looking at channel distortion or individual component problems, I would like to be able to test these items. Seems alot of these scopes come up for sale rather cheap but i'm not sure how old is too old.
Been eyeballing a few Tektronix scopes and one thing has come to mind and that's analog or digital. Would a digital scope be able to measure what an analog scope would or are they completely opposite one another?
There is a Tek 2336 and a Tek TDS 460 for sale near me and the 2336 has a set of probes. Are these well dated enough to warrant me looking elsewhere? Would like to stay under $300 and both of these are around $200.
All thoughts welcome.
