Hi Roy, could this be the beastie?

Without even looking at the link, I'd say probably. A bit of poking around tells me that this thing is commonly referred to as a DSO-138. The two numbers I ran across are apparently two versions of the kit, one with just the main chip soldered, the other one with all of the surface mount parts soldered The unit I have is completely assembled.
Apparently it's good to about 200KHz bandwidth, so I guess it's okay for audio work and some arduino stuff. But that's okay, I have a nice Tek scope on my bench for when it's needed (and I don't remember the last time I turned it on).
There appear to be a lot of people selling these. And one company has a newer version out that's supposed to be better. Finding a case has been another thing entirely, it looks like I'll be getting one from china by way of ebay for not very much money.
So it looks like I have a new toy here. Dunno when I'll do much of anything with it, though. I haven't yet fired it up. I guess we'll see...
