where can I get a scope for $10?
In some kind of junk/surplus sale.
Even on ebay you can find one, just don't expect it to work.
Ah... but all due respect to the great ST, I bought an o-scope on eBay for $15 (or was that $25) and it works.? It is just 15 Mhz, but for my hobby / learning experimentation, it is still great.? It has mode for Color TV color burst mode - so it was designed for real life / real lab use (problem solving & fixing old color TV).
To top it off, it is so simple, I figured out how to "calibrate it" on my own.? Believe me, I'm no genius (why is that not so difficult to swallow?).? One STRONG WARNING - don't open up a CRT type of device unless...? there's a LOT OF HV wiring in there.

Since then the price of old o-scopes have gone up.? But if you take your time and don't get emotional, you can still find cheap deals online.? I took months searching and hunting online.
