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.
