imo, for a lot of it, oscilloscopes etc, the attraction isn't the analog but rather the quality of build for the price. My 465b, probably 50 years old, just keeps on trucking. My not so cheap Owon China scope gave it up after two years. Sure there are $30,000 scopes that you'd hope are built well, but that's not exactly in the hobby budget ..... so instead its a magnificent 465b for me ..... usually for <200. And have you ever been inside this old test equipment? Beautifully made and serviceable. On some, even the transistors are in sockets.
