WME Bill mentioned a good few scopes earlier, with which i would mostly agree.
I will offer just two, a valved scope and an all solid state one, bearing in mind the OPs needs. A Telequipment S32. Simple valve job, up to 10MHz bandwidth, everything replaceable or repairable. Very old, but stonking little 'scopes.
For the solid state, go with any of the D65, D66, D67 or D67A. 15 to 25MHz bandwidth, single or dual timebase, simple to operate and everything is off the shelf stuff. No magic ICs or other strange stuff.
Perhaps I should have thrown in the S54A as a basic solid state 10MHz scope as well.
If any of these has a good CRT (and quite a few replacements available if not) and a GOOD MAINS TRANSFORMER, you are good to go. Only Mains transformers could be difficult to obtain, everything else that is critical is easily found.
