Agreed.  I have two of the 54645Ds - my favorite scopes.  I added the 54657A
module to one of them - gives it GPIB, more storage, and more measurements (FFT,
waveform math, ...)

I also have Tek 7000 and 5000 series analog scopes, along with a older Tek
digital (Oh! - am I becoming a collector? :-).  These mainly gather dust these days.

You can sometimes find the 54645Ds for $400 - $500 on EBay.

Really nice scopes.
