The rise time is almost identical to the average residency time of a male in a washroom. Coincidence? I think not.

Both possible uses, but what about Solar Cell tracking - this bandwidth would avoid shadow flutter from Clouds/Birds/Aeroplanes ? Be good for measuring grass growth too.. -jg

Or paint drying (with an appropriate sensor).
OK, OK, does someone want to explain to the OP the difference between mHz and MHz now???

I can remember using state of the art 10 Mhz scopes from Tektronix. These required distributed delay line amplifiers for the vertical deflection, and we did a lot of useful work with them. No storage.
The thing that would put me off on the offering is that storage tubes are expensive and fragile. I would be highly suspicious that it is and will remain functional. Much more useful is an adequate set of delayed sweeps and multiple traces. The place for storage was for sampling scopes, which could capture much higher speeds of repetitive signals.
It would be quite suitable for hardware with clocks in the under 2 to 5 Mhz areas.

Note the magnitude of the claimed error, and look for the source.

I don't get it either. The fact that a cm scale starts from the opposite end as the inch scale seems fairly normal. Errors in proportion are not visible from the picture. The scale appears to be about 8 inches long, which is not the norm. The bug report verbiage, however, is amusing. I cannot correlate the "10 mm" error (i.e. 1 cm) with any use or misuse of the instrument. If that "error" was 188 - 25.4, or roughly 163, it would make sense.

Read again the part that says what measurement was made (OK, I'll tell you: 188 mm). Read again the part that says how far off it was (OK, I'll tell you again: 10mm). Now examine the scale in that region.
