Local Farnell has the Tektronix TBS1052B oscilloscope on sale for the equivalent of 460USD.
That's a *very* good price by local standards. For the sake of comparison the Rigol DS1052E that sells for 370USD on DX usually costs >700USD here.
I don't know much about oscilloscopes but I've been wanting one to do laser, Tesla Coil and general electronics. Hobby only.
My only alternative to this would be to buy the Rigol from China, which has a reasonable chance of incurring import taxes (and if it does the cost will be doubled).
Does anyone know if the Tektronix TBS1052B is good? How would it compare to the Rigol DS1052E?
I noticed it has 2.5k storage vs. 1M for the Rigol. How does this affect usage?
Here's what I managed to find about it:
Tektronix TBS1052B 50 MHz, 2-Ch, 1 GS/s Digital Storage Oscilloscope - at the Test Equipment Depot
