Post by thread:[BUY]: Test equipment for student

I'm an EE student from Texas looking to set up a small lab at home on an equally small budget. I'm looking for a 60MHz or better scope, signal generator, power supply, microcontroller and EPROM programmers and anything you have too many of. Cosmetics aren't too important as long as the equipment is mostly functional. Thanks, Ethan Swint -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY! [EE]:,[OT]: ->Other [BUY]:,[AD]: ->Ads

Ethan, There are many bargains on this sort of equipment on eBay. You can probably get a good start on this for around $500.00. For example: Tek 465 scopes can be had for about $200.00 (make sure you buy one that comes with probes. A pair of new probes will cost you at least $60).

This was on the archive list, and it kind of sums up my search :) "Keep in mind, to find these things I passed up a hundred scopes at $500 to $1500. If you are willing to set your sights higher on cost you open up a lot more possibilities. and your serach will take considerably less time. I am, however, an incurable cheapskate." -- Lawrence Lile {Original Message removed}
