Need a new toy. For me, it would have to be at least 2 ch digital. Take direct probs plus 1X,10X and probably 100X. Would also like it to work with a inductive probe for looking at ignition wave forms on car engines. Oh and no crt based scope must be LCD.

Hello,
I don't own one myself, but I've heard a lot of people that are happy with the Siglent SDS1202X-E

Or just bored. Forgot. I'm still incognito. You're the only one that knows who I am  When I left you know where, I decided to become invisible. You know, like Burt on Soap. Merry Christmas to you also. Back to the scope. A. I want one and B. trying to prove a point about the effect of dirty (line voltage) power on digital controls. Non of my DMM's react quick enough to actually show someone the problem but up close and personal with a scope does |

Ahhh, ok. Mums the word, lol. Well that's a good reason for the scope. I don't have a suggestion but hopefully some else here can help. I know there are a few on here that are really good with a scope and maybe then can help. You just may have to wait a day or 2 for them to come on and answer.

The Siglent mentioned above, or the Rigol DS1054z is very popular, the Rigol is widely known for its (hassle free) hackability up to 100MHz bandwith, although your indicated applications would fit to the 50MHz bandwidth too.

Hantek makes the probe (HT25) that I think I need for viewing secondary ignition waveforms. What I don't know is how to tell if it's compatible with a given scope. Hantek makes a affordable scope (DSO5102P) for under $250.00 new. So I emailed them to see if those 2 are compatible.
When I had a garage decades ago, I had a Sun scope that did nothing but view seconday wave forms so no setup required

Honestly, for random measurements these days even the cheap chinese pocket scopes are usable.
