This is why this forum is so much fun and informative at the same time, who would have guessed that my quest for handheld scope would have generated so much response, who knew?
One thing for sure is that I will not be buying a new device, or an expensive one just to sit and gather dust, which is what my gear does most of its time. The only thing on my bench which gets daily use and for extended periods is the PC, and even that is getting old like its owner.
If money was not an issue then I'd love to go out and buy new models of everything, but when your only source of income is the state pension, you have to reduce your expectations considerably. I do have occupational pensions that I have not yet invoked because I was advised against doing so while I had some savings left, as the pension pot would be growing at a faster rate than my savings. That was of course pre Brexit and the pandemic, which I expect will have an impact. That being said, of course, those pensions will not be adding much to the state pension when I activate them.
It also seems that some of you guys may be of the impression I'm currently scope less, which is not true and my scopes are shown below, the interest in the Fluke 97 or similar was sparked by recent posts here and also some of Dave's videos and of course the everlasting draw that is TEAS, this is what we are here for right?
