Aliexpress has a few, you can even get a round-screen one for real retro effect:

did you look what kind of joke is that? BNC input, peculiar control knobs and marking, 2MHz? forget uV/div, forget cursors for noise measurement, and forget anything mentioned here about whats good in CRO.

The assertion was "I'm skeptical that anyone is actually producing new analog scopes anymore. "  :-//

Some people obviously are.

One good use for analog scopes: movie prop, they look so much better as a prop than digital scopes.
Except in medical dramas, in those the higher tech the better

Look harder; they are still around.

The rule-of-thumb-price is still £$1/MHz. I can see half a dozen on fleabay/gumtree all displaying sensible traces (all in the UK), all with asking prices in the £40-80 range. Brands are Philips, Gould, Telequipment, even HP.

Even a 20MHz scope is better than none, and I'd rather pay £20 than £300, since I would also have money for probes (inc HV differential) bench PSUs, bench meters etc.

There are of course scopes with ridiculous asking prices. Basing an argument on ridiculous prices is as ridiculous as the prices themselves.

Yeah all of those are shooting in the dark.. More crap than good ones. And as I said, if I buy from UK or USA, I pay shipping on a 20 kg boat anchor that comes broken from shipping, and then customs and VAT on the combined sum....
Even 20 GBP becomes 150€ for 40 year old crap in unknown state, brittle plastic and bent frame from shipping. Not really a "great deal".

At the same time I can buy something brand new with warranty that works great, and is better than any of that crap...

That is why I said : Tektronix 2465 in NOS state would be worth having. And would require king's ransom...

I understand that you can go to local HAM swap meet and sometimes stumble on something decent for 20 quids.... And no other costs.. Great for you. In most of other countries it is not so. Unfortunately so. I wish you were right. But it is not.

And if you were in Antartica, as some denizens of this forum claim, shipping would be even more expensive. So what?! Ditto the more realistic example of Brazil.

Don't presume the conditions in Croatia are the same anywhere else. Don't presume the choices and appropriate decisions are the same.

Note that, unlike you, I qualified my statements, viz "in the UK".
