My scope is a Gould Advance OS250A-TV and although I'm trying to upgrade to one with more bandwidth (hence this thread), I cannot fault it for what it is/does. When I worked in a test department we used to use them and they were good workhorse scopes. Re build quality, the guy who I bought mine off did not pack it properly (to say the least) and the handle was broken and the chassis bent. I took it all apart and straightened everything out, and I don't recall it being badly built, on the contrary I seem to remember being pretty impressed. In fact if anyone is after a 10MHz scope I would recommend it.
