Hello:A little advise:A scope that is any good is a big investment 
especially if you don't know how to use one,go to your library or 
electronics parts store and get a book on how to use one first,to start out 
I would recommend a good 4-1/2 digit digital multimeter.and a good set of 
electronics tools,I get by without a scope on about 95% of the repairs I do 
and I work on $60.000+ Digital electronic church organs.
Regards,
Tim K.
