I also remember those BIG heavy as SCHIIT tek tube based O'scopes.
We had one in the shop I used to work in and it was 'touchy' to setup and use.
And there are a plenitude of tek rebranded tubes on ebay, which speaks to their longevity.
I use a next gen tek scope, the 468, which was amoung their 1st series of combined analog and digital signal processing, using solid state instead of tubes, which also means I DON'T have to use a cart to lug it around, thank dog.
But a friend brought over his latest acquisition, a new digital scope from keysight https://www.keysight.com/us/en/prod...ion-1000-x-series-low-cost-oscilloscopes.html
And it has one button that literally saves the day WAY more often than it should…
The Auto Scale button is a MAJOR time saver, especially when figuring out how to use the scope and get meaningful results.

And yeah it's over a grand depending on which version, so it isn't cheap, but it can be 'feature packed' (FFT's, Bode plots, signal generator etc).
But I still like my 468 as it gives me meaning results, and since it was a donation from a friend, the cost of acquisition was a deal I couldn't refuse. hahahahahaha.
