[sdiy] Need a New Oscilloscope

The switches in my beloved Tek 465B have become so intermittent that it's unusable. It can be refurbished but that's beyond my skill set and none of my buddies want to touch it. I guess it's time to move on.

Right now I have a working 6MHz scope that will get me by but it's only single trace. I'd like to 100MHz dual trace again. A decent analog scope would be easier for me to use but who wants to risk money on eBay for that these days? (crazy shipping, too). 

My budget is very limited  and I can afford to spend maybe $200 for something that actually works. I have a couple of cheap, pocket-sized digital scopes which are OK for trans-audio work but I'd like to be able to see rising edges. I also need a much bigger screen that I can actually read from a whopping two feet away.

The subject of scopes has come up many times on SDIY and I don't want to revisit the entire question but I'm sure this will open the floodgates, anyway.
