It works well and provides me with everything I need except pulse train decoding. It does have a simple math function though.

I thought it was perfect to assist working in the Arduino world.

There DS1052E 'scope sells for $335 Canadian + HST + ~8 shipping. For $51 more you can get the 100MHz version (DS1102E).

You might have some luck on some of the Amateur radio swap shops and flea markets, but they mostly want to sell to other licensed operators, and they are typically not selling scopes.  Just old radios, antennas, etc.  In years past, I have seen test gear such as you seek available, but it's seldom.

That's very helpful, thanks!

If you are doing anything that you can't see with a flashing LED (i.e. faster than 3-4 Hz or thereabouts), I think they are a must.  Also, the waveform information is invaluable in debugging, etc.

I haven't been to Toronto in about three years, but one of my friends was there last summer, and he said Active Surplus is still going. They might have a used scope for a lot less. I have spent a lot of time in the Ottawa area and I concur that you are unlikely to find anything there in used equipment stores.  That said, a fellow gave me a used HP scope that did pretty much what this one did -- it was about 20 years old and worked fine for a week, and then it let the magic smoke out of it.

I don't know your budget, but if you can afford a new one similar to what I listed above, you won't regret it. Buying used, surplus electronic gear is a gamble. You might get lucky and end up with a deal . . . or a boat anchor. I always by new unless I know from where it came. Anyhow, that's my 2-cents worth.
