I guess it depends on what you are after.
Sounds like a Nice Tek 2400 series is in your price range and way more
scope than you are asking for.

One person I highly respect and recommend for used stuff is Bob Garcia.
He is a retired person who sells used Tek Scopes. Generally the
$100-$800 price range stuff is his niche. 2200, 2400 series mostly
lately. He checks them all out, fixes them if needed and calibrates
them (not NIST but calibrated). You pay about going rates from him for a
good clean and checked out scope. If there are ever any issues he will
fix, refund or trade in. I have perhaps bought 20-25 pieces from him
over the last 10-15 years and he has always done me good.

I personally am getting rid of two scopes if either interest you e-me
off line. They are both fine scopes, they are just a bit slower than I
need.
Tek 2445A very nice 150Mhz analog - the 150Mhz version of the high
demand 2465B.

2445 "A" is NOT a version of the 2465 "B".
The B series came along AFTER the A version,and the B versions use a
mricoprocessor board incompatible with earlier versions,as it now contains
the readout board circuitry that used to be a separate assy,and is SMD,not
thru-hold components.

(FYI,the main PCB itself is the part that determines bandwidth of the
scope. the hybrid ICs are common to both 2445 and 2465 scopes,including
later A and B versions.)


The 2445/65 series is the best analog scope TEK ever made.
