OK, you clods!  You have messed with my mind, and now rather than 
straightforwardly ordering a new scope I am bidding on eBay!  For a 
Tektronix 465.  Most likely I will rue the day, although the guy that is 
selling it is rated very positively (99.6%) and has a string of glowing 
feedbacks about three miles long.  Anyway, we shall see.  Of course, I 
have not yet won the bid.  Thanks for all the good advice.  It is always 
interesting to ask a question on the piclist, and then wade through the 
responses to distill out the wheat from the chaff.  (Both "wheat" and 
"chaff" being relative terms, of course  --  there is no bad advice, 
only advice that does not comport with what I want to do).
