I agree, with great pleasure, that the Tek 465 is a great scope in the 100
MHz category; mine Just Works. They do have some unobtanium parts, though,
particularly certain ICs and some switch parts.
I also have a Phillips PM3055 100MHz scope, which is considerably more
automated. It, too, is a quite good scope in the 100 MHz category.
