[Elecraft] KB7OEX: help re oscilloscope

If you can get a Tek 465, or its derivatives such as the 475 that go up to
350 MHz, for this price, grab one.  This series of  Tek scopes is probably
the best analog non-sampling scopes that were ever made.  I finally broke
down and got a 475A, but it cost a couple of hundred dollars.  They
generally sell on the refurbished scope market for $500 and up.

If you are patient, you can score a Tektronix 465 (100 MHz dual trace) on
eBay for under a C-note. I think mine was $65. It's a real nice 'scope if
you don't have to carry it around too much.

Hi folks -
I have decided to tackle David Rutledge's The Electronics of Radio in
conjunction with building a Norcal 40A. The book is structured around
building the Norcal. I've built my K1 and K2, but I really want to get
down to the nitty-gritty and understand more about how things work.

A 50Mhz oscilliscope is needed to do some of the problems in the book.
Can someone suggest the cheapest source for a scope that would fit the
bill? The book mentions a Teltronix 2215A, but that kind of money is way
out of my league. I do have a functioning old Heathkit Model 10-105 that
I got for $25 on a whim many months back - but it looks like the
bandwidth is 15Mhz (I think - each channel circuit is described as dc to
15MHz wide-band amplifiers - but I don't know enough yet about
oscilloscopes hi hi).

Anybody have an idea? Thanks as always.
