I have a Gould Advance OS250A-TV 10MHz scope. I recently found it 'wanting' when fault finding and setting up a hifi FM tuner. I'm looking for advice regarding a suitable specification (not necessarily models, although that too) for a scope that would be able to do all that is needed to setup an FM tuner without struggling? I'm not sure even what parameters the spec would include, but maybe bandwidth, input impedance (?) etc. I don't want a valve scope (too big) no matter how cheap, readily available etc. Thanks.
