Get something cheap but new enough it doesn't become a project of its own. Honestly the one I use is an early 60s Stark Instruments tube based scope which originally belonged to a high school electronics lab. I got it for free 20 years ago and it's been fine ever since for my needs. It has limitations but allows me to view waveforms and troubleshoot electronic equipment
