So Tek earned their reputation and premium pricing due to quality and performance delivered to hard working folks with no time for finicky or flaky test equipment. Now that all applied to the good old analog days, and I have no experience with 'digital scopes', so I have no idea if Tektronix still is a leader in quality, features and performance as it once dominated in the analog days.Lefty
Whilst this is all true, selling to schools and colleges isn't the same as selling to an electronics engineer - price is very important -
if you're buying ten scopes that spend most of their time sat in a cupboard you want value for money.
