[sdiy] oscilloscope question

[Alert me]

Hi there,

I am planning to buy a second hand oscilloscope( not a very old model). I 
checked up a dealer of second hand stuff.He has a few tektronix, Philips and 
some unpopular brands. However, i was told that philips
scope`s  are difficult to repair.

Any good suggestions for a good model ( trouble free and easy repairability) 
  with dual channel functionality. Also, suggestions for a dual beam scope 
is appreciated.

regards
