I cannot comment on that particular scope, but can remind you of a few
things.

- you will not get around to fixing a broken oscilloscope. Don't waste time
on it or pretend you will one day.

If you are looking for calibrated and tested equipment, I'd suggest Tucker
Electronics (www.tucker-dot-com). Ignore the website pricing and call in for a
normal quote. Hamfest are grat if you can test the higher priced items like
instruments first.
