Here in the USA I don't think we understand what "black markets" are?  Can 
you explain.

We have flea markets, wholesale clearances, garage sales, direct 
distributors...  At least "I" don't understand what a black market 
does...  Maybe like our grey market for watches and cameras...

>so is it worthy or not, good for sstc or not?

I think 200 euro is about $240 which seems like a very good price for a new 
scope of any type.  Probes are probably about 20 euro and up if the scope 
does not come with them.

This scope will do just about anything any analog scope could do.  If you 
paid 2000 euro, it would not be any more useful than this Gould scope for 
coiling work.

Digital scopes can freeze the signal and make all kinds of digital computer 
measurements, but the price is very high for them.

But "I" think this scope would do everything you would need.

Cheers,

         Terry
