Tek 465 as a hobby scope?

We used them for a while in USAF electronics training and field use too (of
course they had an AN/USM number) before they went to Tek 454 and 453 units.
I miss the 465's but between my Tek 454A analog and my HP 45201D digital
scope I'm pretty well set for most needs. Of course the IEEE-488 on the HP
is nice too.

-> That's a great field service scope and was the standard at DEC.
