Several years ago, I bought a used Textronix 2236 oscilloscope
from eBay through a friend in the US. I paid $385 and it came
with five good quality Tek probes.
Someone else's query about oscilloscopes made me curious about
the current value of the scope and, in an idle moment, I looked
it up on eBay. I expected it to have devalued significantly from
the $385, but was surprised to see that they are still asking up
to $1400 for it (though there's at least one offered for $300).
What value would you put on a used scope of that class? I'm not
thinking of selling it. I'd just like to know what you, those
involved in electronics, think it's worth. The design is from the
early 80s, perhaps even earlier. For those not familiar with this
model, these are the main specs:
100 MHz dual trace analog
2mV/div, 5ns/div
integrated 7-digit freq counter and timer (uP based)
integrated autoranging 5000-count DMM
