Is an Enertec Schumberger oscope any good?

[The little lost angel]

After that disappointing tektronic scope, my friend found another
scope which appears to be in working condition. It's an Enertc
Schumberger 5220 with 3 chans and 100Mhz bandwidth. We don't know if
this is any good, does anybody know how much would this be worth?

Thanks!!!

If you really want, FrontPage & DreamWeaver too.
But keep in mind you pay extra bandwidth for their bloated code

Looks like a very good scope for a hobbyist like yourself, and for me.

It is sold on ebay right now and the bid is 61dollars, plus freight
costs, of course.

100 dollars would be a very good price for this scope.

If somebody wanted to sell me one for anything up to 200 dollars today I
would buy it, after checking carefully that is works.

I live in a remote part of the world, so I have to count on extra freight
costs, and I cannot buy from ebay, that is why I would be ready to pay
200 dollars for such a scope if delivered to my door.
If I lived in Paris/France or California I would pay 100 dollars for it.

The name of the company is "Enertec Schlumberger" if you want to look
after facts about it on the web. (it is important to spell correctly to
find facts on internet)

It is a French company with localities in many french cities, I think the
main office is in Paris.

Not much point if the shipping costs upwards of US$200 like it does
for me if I want to ship a o-scope over

In the northern part of Sweden, 800 km (500miles) north of the nearest big city.

Look at the numbers, current bid = 90 dollars.
Shipping cost to USA via Airmail is $117 & By Surface it will be $75.

But there are probably more costs involved, like transferring costs for money, etc..
And there is no way for me to test it before I buy it.

That is why I would not take such a risk and all the costs involved,
but I would gladly pay 200 for it if I could buy it locally.

erm nope. the tek scope was disappointing because we thot we finally
found a usable one for an affordable price locally. but subsequently,
the comments made it unattractive as we're likely to need to fix it
somewhat. The experienced folks here don't recommend we try it being
the obvious noobs tat we are.

It's a very good scope...
Only one little problem may happen : the power filter burns in some serials
numbers...and it's not recommended to leave the scope on when you are
away!!!
Except that problem, it's very good, with a beautiful image.

I was close. Not quite as high, but I'll bet nearly as much snow?

Is it that you could buy from Ebay (you haven't made any life long enemies
there :-] ), but shipping hassle/costs discourage you?

purchased on ebay? Item not as described? Just wondering because I'm still
in the market for a new scope but am hesitant to buy on from ebay.

I've had overall good experiences buying test equipment on eBay. But
on principle I don't recommend you buy potentially quite old, complex
equipment on eBay unless you are capable of diagnosing and repairing
it.
