I'd probably not bother, unless it's a give-away price. 5MHz is ok  
for audio (and I used a similar scope for years when I built a lot of  
guitar effects boxes) but synth work often seems to require poking  
about in higher frequency signals too, especially if you're trying to  
repair something commercial.
