Those kinds of scopes are very low performance and what they really
lack even of audio works a good "font end" that can ever attenuate
high voltage signals or amplify millivolts.

The best value on today's market is the Chinese no-brand digital
storage scopes but for not a lot more you can get a name brand Chinese
scope lie Rigol.

If you are debuging DIGITAL system then you are in luck because those
way-cheap logic analyses work well.  For under $20 you can get an
8-channel unit
But they aren't good at all for seeing actual waveforms, just for logic.

If you scope has vacuum tube in it, then it is past time to replace
it.  The new digital storage scopes are so much better  The no-brand
ones go for about $300 and better ones for $100 more.

A new class of scope have mixed signal inputs and you can do things
like decode commands going over a serial bus (like CAN) bus and use
that to tigerger the analog sweep.  So you can see, for example the
motor current used right after some command is issued  Then you can
dump the data to a USB stick and take it to a computer.      Or you
can used the new Digital scope lust like your old Tektronix.

If this is for some business use then for professional use you really
should have a name-brand Chinese scope and good quality scope probes.
