I don’t own a logic probe, so I used my scope a lot. Last night I used it to diagnose a bad switch matrix strobe by looking for the strobe pulses.

Quoted from slochar:A scope can be handy and new ones have become relatively cheap ($200-$400). Most of the time you don't need it, but when you do, it makes things so much easier.
Ive seen quite a few cheaper scopes come on the market over the last few years. There are some that use a USB hub to connect to a lap top that work well, and can be had for under $100. My scope is a used Fluke 97 I picked up cheap a few years ago off Ebay. It works pretty well, but the batteries are shot.
