Hi, probably the only real use would be if you have a tricky fauly with the detector on an FM set. You can also use it with a sig gen as a wobbulator and look at the IF responses. This is useful on some sets.
Main uses are on vintage TV where there are pulse circuits, without a scope it's vey difficult to decide what is going on.
They can also be useful in tracing causes of distortion in tape recorders.
