I think that's accurate. I've seen test sets, not saying which one
(likely the 54121a though) for around 100$. An anomaly? Perhaps, but
deals can be had. I only payed 100$ + shipping for what I got, was in
fairly good shape (though missing the top cover). The guy, seemingly a
bona fide test equipment reseller, had the voltage swtich on 220vac.
Maybe he had some kid look it over. I didn't have the heart to tell him.
Probably in his best interests though. The umbilical cable alone can run
150$.
Wow, sounds like the guy had too much blood in his caffeine stream.
It would be nicer to have a self contained unit like the 54110/11/12,
but the specs are so anemic by comparison. It's not the last scope I'm
going to own anyway I'm sure. Down the road I'll either splurge for the
test set and/or one of the earlier color HPs. There's always the 2215a I
payed 4$ for. Has a beam that's all I can say for now.
Yeah. Just keep in mind that the 54120B is *not* a general-purpose
oscilloscope. It's a pretty specialized instrument. Those NMD
connectors on the test set should give that away. Hang onto that 2215A!
