Howdy! (Tips hat)
So I am considering buying my first oscilloscope and have read a number of past postings on types and specs and brands etc. A lot of folks seem to prefer the older CRT style scopes used due to price and maybe just the ambiance of the CRT? It seems you can get a funky fresh new one for almost the same price (I'm looking at a 100mhz and 2 channels) as an older one. If I was going to spend say 250-ish on one, would it make sense just to buy a new one? What am I missing on by not getting an older one?
Happy Hunting!
