With a good tube, an image would last for hours.
A replacement tube cost $5k 10 years ago. It's not suprising that nobody
makes any more. Second hand ones are pretty rare and still expensive.
The advantage is that you can set it on 1 Sec/div and still have the full
100MHz bandwidth.
It's one of those things like an analog multimeter. Fine for general use,
no where near as many "bells and whistles" but occasionally, the best tool
for the job.
