Second-order linear (non-autonomous as well as autonomous) delay differential equations of unstable type are considered. In the non-autonomous case, sufficient conditions are given in order that all oscillatory solutions are bounded or all oscillatory solutions tend to zero at $\infty$. In the case where the equations are autonomous, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for all oscillatory solutions to be bounded or all oscillatory solutions to tend to zero at $\infty$.
