Hameg made some really good and affordable scopes. Another recommendation right there. I agree the analogue scopes are of course clumsy when you wanna document stuff. Obviously this is where DSOs really shine.I am using that Owon, and its great for general use and 99.999% of all the diagnostics on vintage PC's I have done, but I have had to use the Hameg traditional scope once on a higher frequency signal to really see the detail.
Just for fun, my 1st scope was an ancient and very basic AEG Elograph (no, I didn't make that name up) from the late 50s -- and it uses valves! It's cute and portable, has a 1MHz (!) bandwidth (on a good day) but is incredibly rugged. Fell off my bench onto the concrete floor once. Front panel all bent and beat up. But no broken glass. After a quick panelbeating it fired right up as if nothing happened!
