If you'll settle for a used analog scope, you might look for a
Tektronix 465, which was a very good two-channel 100 MHz scope.
I've never been happy with any of the cheap digital scopes. The good
digital scopes tend to be rather pricey, even used.
The 465 (A/B) is a great reliable scope. But if you're used to using
DSO's, it can take some time getting used to, particularly on low rep-
rate traces.
And storage-tube scopes (such as the 5441) require quite a bit of
getting used to also.
I've seen some early used DSOs on eBay (usually without probes), for
under $200, but I don't know how well they work.
