If you want to, write to me privately and give me an idea of where you live -- 
I have an old osciloscope (in a closet that is hard to access ;-) that I'd 
probably be willing to sell at a reasonable price.  

I can't remember the brand offhand, it is approximately 40 years old, I never 
used it hard, and the original cost was over $1000 (I bought it new).  I'm 
sure the bandwidth is at least 20 MHz., and may be higher.  (I just don't 
remember -- I know I wanted to find something that would be suitable for the 
clock speed of the Digital Group computer I was building (from a kit).)

Reasonable price -- well, I'm thinking about that.  I used it to work on my 
Digital Group computer kit that had some problems (back around 1977), and 
haven't used it since.  I sort of like having it sit in the closet in case I 
need it (or I get my son interested in something for which he'd use it), but, 
if I'm realistic, neither will probably happen.

Hmm, I guess I might be willing to sell the DG computer as well, if anyone is 
interested (uses a Z-80 CPU) and has some problems.
