FWIW, I sold this model on eBay last year for $80.00
or thereabouts, with good (replaced) batteries. I
liked it very much and was the original owner. I used
it in field service (just simple stuff) but I don't
move around anymore so I got a Tek 464 (harder to get
parts for than a 465, but really better with analog
storage). The DM44 (meter) option is nice if you don't
have a frequency counter, BTW. It was an option on the
465 also.
There is a Yahoo newsgroup for Tek scope restoration;
they formerly discussed only tube models but now
transistors are OK.

For working on vintage computers, should you use a
Can somebody advise me how much to charge for an
NLS (they later became
Kaypro) model 215 (dual trace 15 MHz) portable
scope? The batteries are
beyond redemption.
Is that the little tiny scope that NLS made with
the screen that's about 1" across? I have one and
it's usefull for some things such as checking for
the presense of a signal but the screen is too small
for a lot of uses. Therefore I wouldn't recommend it
for someone's only or first scope.
You should be able to remove the battteries and
replace them without too much trouble. I replaced
the batteries in mine about 15 -18 years ago. Yes,
they're still good. That's why I insist on the
Japanese made Sanyo batteries!
