It's so nice to have a high quality Tektronix oscilloscope in my antique radio lab. The instrument is a pair of eyes into a circuit, and acts as a frequency counter, P-P voltmeter and a signal generator. With it I can do signal tracing, alignments, and data logging. Thanks so much. I live on retirement benefits and the price fit my budget.

Great! Just what we needed. The limited bandwidth feature and real-time display is useful in measuring. Tektronix has always made a dependable tool.

Quality of a scope differs from person to person based on there needs from a scope. I'm an electronics tech by trade but do allot of engineering projects at home. Tek's 210 meets all my needs, it runs silent, with quick acquisition time, VERY user friendly, VERY portable, VERY simple. The downfalls would be the lack of a full color LCD, but the display works well and is easily visible unlike other scopes I have used, the biggest downfall is the lack of memory (only 2.5k)I am used to using my scope at work that has 1M points of memory which still is not a ton of memory. That being said if your just designing and working on average circuits you would not even need a DSO. If your into software this is not the scope for you due to the lack of memory, but for almost anything else (within its bandwidth) it will work well. Only other thing that I find VERY cheap is the fact that the BNC connectors are PC mount vs. "bar mount".Read full review
The TDS210 is one of those fairly plain scopes that shows you a signal and doesn't tax your brain too much in order to do so. 60MHz bandwidrh two channel, enough for general lab use. Mine is second hand but the simplicity means theres less to go wrong so it seems to all work just fine.

Even used and not color, this unit will function as a dual trace 60mhz oscilloscope, that requires only 25 watts of power and takes up very little space on the test bench. Good enough for general purpose test bench work.

This instrument, although several years old, still is current, has features not found in other manufacturers, and is definitely great value for the cost. For any electronic experimenter it is a must have instrument for their bench.

Seems to be in good working order. My only complaint is that the firmware (1.16) is older than the one I replaced (2.01). There are a few higher end functional differences for firmware below 2.0, but unlikely to be an issue for our application (Linear Circuits lab). Carrying case is a nice bonus.

Someone had disassembled it to repair the on/off switch, I guess. When I received it, it was missing the button top that protrudes through the case to turn it on and off. I even tried using a pen to depress the switch, but it would not latch. As long as I held the switch depressed with the pen, the scope would stay on, but as soon as I released it, the scope shut off. It was supposed to be in working condition. It was not.

The TDS210 Digital Scope is a very good. I had one at work before I retired and knew it was a good buy. The advantage of a digital sampling scope is the display is steady and you can expand or contract it for details. I used it to capture 50ns pulses. 60Mhz is adequate for most purposes and you can cut the bandwidth to 20Mhz is you need to reduce the noise. I like the layout of the controls and it is easy to use. The Tektronix quality puts it a few notches above the average knockoff and I would be willing to spend a little more to get that quality. I use it to repair old radios and anything else that comes along that requires a scope. You can get something more compact but you will have to look hard to get better quality.
It should be able to accept higher voltages as inputs. Had to make an external attenuator to be able to use it for audio signals that we look at.
