Your the one that ultimatly has to decide if it is "worth it" to you (which depends on what you would use it for).
But, Yes $200.00 (US) is a very good price for this scope.

It is a very reliable, useful and very good scope, according to old Tek tradition.
Works for decades, without service.
USD 200 is a good price, if it works OK. Buy it.

Never mind. It works, have a nice digital multimeter,
and it will work without any problem for at least 10 more years or more.
Of coarse a TDS200 series scope is generally (not always) better,
but it would cost you much more.

| I used one for a long time. Obtained mine as a demo model from Tektronix. It is very handy with the counter, timer and DVM built in. The only problem I had later was that the focus readjusted while using the scope. That was traced to a high value resistor in the focus circuit. I found out later that was a common fault on this series. $200 is not a bad price provided it is fully functional. I have seen them going cheaper.

| A good source of used scope is your local electronic swapmeet. I got a used Tek 2440 for $200 US.
