Neat! Say the four channel Aglient 'scope 54831B for only ~$600 looks like a steal. Is this 600MHz? Is there something wrong with it? (I wonder if my wife will let me buy another 'scope?)
Re the Rigol: I think Dave did a tear down of it on his eevblog.

And you never seen a teardown of a Rigol scope :-)
It seems the used equipment market is so much better at your end. I recently restored a TDS544A but its hardly worth the effort from a financial perspective. And I was extremely lucky someone offered a working color CRT board for an absolute bargain. Perhaps it was the shortest buy-it-now offering on Ebay ever :-)
I've done some repair work in the past but mostly the cases other people couldn't fix. Nowadays I only fix equipment for my own use. Or just convert the CRT or STN screens to TFT screens.

That one caught my eye as well but if you read carefully the $600 will get it 'upgraded' to Windows XP.

Nope - it doesn't interest me in the least. To be honest, I don't bother with low-end stuff. For myself, I only do HP/Agilent, Tek, Keithley, and Rohde and Schwarz. Although I will take in repair orders for other brands, nobody has ever asked me to take a look at any Rigol equipment.
I don't bother with TDS500 or TDS64X series anymore. Got tired of changing out all those leaky caps, washing boards, and hunting for open traces in the ACQ boards. Tedious work! Although I think the 500D series of scopes didn't have that problem.
Plug:
There's nothing wrong with it, other than you needing to supply the scope. :)
The Military bought a lot of the 54831 (M) scopes, and they've been hitting the surplus market in the last few years. However, when they bought them they stipulated that the scopes come with Windows 98 (blech) for some reason. Upgrading them to XP makes these scopes much more desirable.
