For those who want an old TDS 500 Tek scope but don't have much money to put in to it, a decent one poped up here :
https://www.leboncoin.fr/outillage_materiaux_2nd_oeuvre/2062320209.htmA 524A, so 2 channels 500MHz, 500MSps, COLOUR screen, which appears to be in good nick too (often they leak, not so this one it seems).
The two channels appear to be working and POST is clear.
Bezel has a crack in the top left corner but not the end of the world, and mostly shows from the side, not from the front, so not a show stopper...
Also supplies two new probes but from what I see on the pics, they are probably the cheap 10 buck china probes, and probably aren't even 500MHz rated, most likely 100MHz I bet, so I would consider the scope as not having probes at all as far as I am concerned.
Only 200 Euros, and well maybe you can negotiate 20 euros off of that who knows.. that would help pay for shipping.
Would happily buy it if I were looking for my first TDS... but I already have two of them now and many more other scopes so... I am not a candidate for this scope any longer, but thought someone here might be...
