I don't need an oscilloscope, I just want one to look at various waveforms, capacitors discharging, and other things that make wavy lines. I'd always thought they're really expensive (Because they are) but I've seen they go fairly cheap on eBay so I've been looking at getting one second hand.
I just don't see why they're so big. I know ones with CRT's are going to be big and heavy because there's a big heavy CRT in it but digital ones aren't any smaller*, why is this?
*I mean proper ones, not the ones on a single PCB or the "Pocket DSO" which I assume are crap.
PS; I was 7 when I first heard of them and I've wanted one ever since but I've never had any use for one till now. Yeah, I was a weird child. Well, "was" implies I'm normal now.
