Lop pol, I was going to say at least no vacuum tubes except the CRT, but you said you want one (or two, or more).? Personally, I don't see why you would want a tube scope.? I mean, tubes are great for audio and guitar amplifiers, but why mess around with shack-heating fire bottles?? My preference is for 7000 and 5000 series solid-state scopes, although I do own an HP 54504A DSO because they were throwing it out at work.
Maybe if you used a tube scope back in the old days?? I used to have an HP 8566 spectrum analyzer, an 8350B sweeper, and 8494 and 8495 step attenuators back 25+ years ago at work, and now I have them all in my garage lab.? Had a Tek 2465B as well, but the knob and button lag drove me crazy, so I have no? intention of buying one now.? I sure would like a CSA803 again, but working on those digital beasts is such a pain.? Oh well.

Glad I'm not the only one with this illness.
two 453's
two 485's
two newly acquired 2430A's
2213A
2215
2221

TDS320 also newly acquired
7633
465
TM504
TM506
And currently working on a TDS420 power supply. I hope I can add it to the rest of working scopes. I want to add a 475, something tubed and a higher end 24xx series. I love this hobby and the people involved.
