How much Oscilloscope is enough?
#3

Do you do any electronic repair other than old AM tube gear?

What have you used your scope for in the last XX years?  A good chance the upper frequency response will not change.

All the PC base stuff is getting better and cheaper.

There also older compact scopes that show up now & then.

Scopes are one of those things you don't need till you need.

Rule 1 if you are selling you get almost nothing.
Rule 2 if you need one they are all $$

PC base makes capturing nifty pictures easy from what I  can tell.  I still have to try using a digital camera capture a trace.

Good probes can be as expensive as used scopes.  Again it depends on band width.  Probably want to keep your probes.
