There are usually lots of 'scopes at hamfests. Caveat emptor, of course,
and you have to really look at everything to find the good deals. I once
got a Tek 565 on the cart with a probe for $20 (finally found the manual
for the same price a couple of years later). I bought a crummy but good for
looking at waveforms Conar 255 for $10 at the last one.

Last time I looked Tucker wanted over $200 for the cart that 565 came on.

Anybody have any 560 series modules they want to part with? Nuvistors?
