[TenTec] OT: Scopes

[Dave Edwards]

high 100's to mid 200's.
I had a cherry HP 1726A scope that was mine at work. But, I used a 
cheaper 1740A, and the 1726 was like new.
I sold it.
To friggin big, and too much of a risk when something goes belly-up.
I now have a small lightweight Hitachi, and a digital Tek....both of 
them very small and lightweight.
Whatever the specs on them compared to the old HP???  Don't care, they 
do everything I need done.

.....Dave
