I was very upset when my Tektronics 2245 died as it was very handy with the cursors and 'calculations' features and being 350 MHz very handy. I have a beaten up cheap 20MHz Hameg for the workshop. I had another analogue scipe previously too but as I travelled by plane every week or two, it simply fell apart (baggage handling). Cheap and an expensive digital scope now but it is difficult to trust what they 'think' they are displaying. An old analogue 'tells' you you are getting it wrong because the line turns into a dot as it hits the edge of the screen. A signal generator of some form is of course essential and as said, a function generator is an economic and prefectly adequate for basic measurements.Learning how to interpret square waves will take time.I am mighty unimpressed that Audio Precision abandonned support for their older models but that is Americans I suppose. I want my gear to do today and tomporrow wnat I am doing NOW, I don't really need 'upgrades', but reliability and consistency.
