Most of the gear I own now old, have managed to diagnose problems without owning a scope. In one case, the problem with an old hollow-state receiver was found by poking around with a wooden dowel to expose a poor solder joint. My main concern is spending more money on a scope than my shack is worth, or alternately spending more time fixing a used scope than is warranted.

Whether you would use it or not or feel uncomfortable using a scope, I
cannot answer...but if you do decide you want one, let me suggest a
Tektronix dual-trace 100 Mhz scope. At the e-place, they regularly go
for $100-150.
