Which one would you pick? Or none of them, and wait for something better to come up? ...

Old scope has a risk, if its broken, most of the times, in order to fix an old analog scope, you will need "another" working 2nd scope, assuming you're skilled & knowledgeable to fix it, which in this case you are not.

From above choices, none, buy a new scope, or much less expensive one, but new and presumably with 1 year warranty.

A working cheap scope, is much better than a super duper scope but its broken or somehow not working right.

More like 50-60, but it's purely academic. It cranks out heat. The dual beam models like the 555 and 556 had more toobs, necessarily, since they were essentially two scopes in one case sharing a dual gun CRT and a power supply. :)

Awesome, yeah right. A scope you can only use in the winter months.  ::)
