I'd agree with this. I used to have a 465M and it was a pretty good
scope. You can get them dirt cheap on Ebay. For the original
poster, if you're comfortable designing, building, and debugging
audio stuff, you shouldn't have much trouble fixing any issues on a
465M. The horizontal and vertical sections are easily removed
(unlike the other 460-series scopes). The only problem mine had,
which I've seen other people post similar symptoms for, was the
sweep trace was horizontally compressed. The problem was with a
capacitor in the power supply causing one of the DC supply rails to
be both too low, and not DC.

For a real bargain look at a 465M, much better that either of
those two, I've owned both, and much more portable than
the 76 series.
The 465M is a real sleeper... a great scope except when you want
to sell one.
I like my 7623a very much except when I need to carry it
somewhere.
This is my first post to this group. I build DIY audio for
myself and
the more I read/talk to individuals it seems like an Oscope
should
definitely be on my list of things to purchase. Honestly, I
can't tell
you why I would need a 4-channel vs. a 2-channel scope other
than 4 is
greater than 2. But I would be interested in your comments. I
am
interested in the 2465B but it seems like prices range from
$150 -
$1200. If someone can point me in the right direction, I would
really
appreciate it. BTW, I'm guessing that all of you would
recommend that
buying an Oscope from eBay (as my first Oscope) would not be
recommended. :) Please let me know if you disagree. Also, my
budget
is between $200-$300.
