Gah bought another duff fluke for £18. This time an 8060a. Wish me luck
. I’m betting on duff electrolytic caps and corrosion and at least it can’t be overvolted
Shifted the broken 8050a earlier today.
Repaired this car crash before which was far worse off so fingers crossed:![](https://imgur.com/F1N0Dw1.jpg)
So.... you're justifying one act of dumbassery by presenting a similar example of dumbassery, after selling off yet another example of dumbassery...? ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif)

Nailed it

It’s low risk dumbassery though as ROI is always better than break even, also if it doesn’t work. Got 75% of spend back on the 8050a and have an RF probe and case for a future 8010a or eBay
I really cannot see why everybody is on bd's back, OK, it's a Tek, etc, but as he has already stated he does have a reason for his actions and also the TDS210 is perfectly adequate for his stated purpose, audio work, even with its crappy digital display and lack of memory depth. Yes, we all know that analogue scopes have a far better display, I have both a Fluke PM3390B 200MHz combiscope and a Tek TDS210, but the TDS210 gets used most because it is quick to switch on, actually sits on my bench so is right in front of me and takes a very small footprint.
If I had bench space like a lot of you have, then I'd probably use the combiscope more, but space prevents it from being the main go to scope. Yes I'd like a colour display etc. but really cannot justify the cost, so the TDS210 suits me just fine, and I daresay bd can identify with a lot of that as well.
Exactly that

It’ll do the job and it’ll do it quietly without burning my electricity bill or toes off

. Also fits in a plastic crate with no special treatment when I move house and doesn’t make my pissy shitbox of a car do a wheelie if I pull away too quick like a 7000
