Picked up a neat little toy today.
BK Precision 2120, 20mhz dual trace Oscilloscope with manual and probes for 70 bucks! Now I know it is only 20 mhz but for 70 bucks I'll make use of it. 
The trainer I picked up a few months ago for 40 bucks and it also came with O-scope probes and a logic probe.

Good score!
I have about the same scope (Heathkit branded but same front panel and same specs) but rarely pull it out because I'm spoiled by using the fancy ones at work. They still work just as well as they ever did so you are GTG. Just don't get spoiled like me.
I think it's pretty cool that you are doing this on your own time. |

I think it's pretty cool that you are doing this on your own time. I passed up a 100mhz dual trace BK for 240 bucks and I kick myself. 
Should have gotten it. I wish I had a good scope at work. Could use one. I don't bring my stuff to work. One of the employees there trashes everything he touches.

I bought a like new tek 2246a with 4 probes and manuals from someone who thought they were going to be a tech overnight for 80 bucks. Sorry, had to rub it in. |
I recently treated myself to a new Rigol DS1062E 50 MHz scope, which can be hacked into a 100 MHz scope. I'm waiting for the dust to settle on all the issues found with this or that version of the internal software when doing the hack. Done wrong, the scope becomes a door stop. |

I see that shit at work everyday and avoid it as best as I can. I now make others use it for me Management is great!
I sure don't want that stuff in my house. I even bought a cheap ass $13 Auto Zone meter to work on my car so I don't have to see a Fluke at home.
