[Boatanchors] Oscilloscope Recommendations

[WA5CAB--- via Boatanchors]

Two more good TEK models are the 2215, 60 MC, same size as the 465.  And 
the 2335, 100 MC and a little smaller than the 465.  I currently have a 2335, 
which replaced a 2215 that I had.  I've had the 2335 eleven years with no 
problems.  Paid $250 for it.  I had the 2215 from 1985 to 2005 and had no 
problems.
