True, but when you need it you REALLY need it. Like trying to find
a single-event write fault in the RL02 "circular" logic... no way
to do it with my 545 scope!

the 545B is a good scope, 30Mhz bandwidth (with the right plug-in). I use my
"classic" 500 series scopes for a lot of things, mainly because the trigger
is very reliable. The 547 (50MHz), with tunnel diode trigger, will trigger
on 1GHz pulses - very useful for catching glitches (you don't see the
glitch, but you do get a trace "bright-up" to show an event).
The 549 analogue storage would be good for a lot of vintage work (anyone in
the UK got one they don't want.....)
