I had a 465 for years, great scope, loved it. Had some issues with the transformer and the display, but was a work-horse. It is not an expensive scope.
I later upgraded to a Tek 485 which has a lot higher speed and can be had for around $200 - $275 on e-bay, which is where I bought mine. No comparison, the 465 is 100mhz and the 485 is 400mhz. Well worth the few extra $$$. This way I can also work on my 2 meter and a little bit on my 220mhz projects. I love them both. Important to get good probes though and if you fish around, you can get some for a good deal. Be sure you are not confused by the TAS 485 which is a new, solid state scope.

I've got some idea of what to look for in one when using it with amateur radio, but am wondering about one I've found several of for under 200 bucks. It's the "Tektronix 465 dual trace oscilloscope".
