There's pretty many that'll do a job for you.  You probably want dual traces 
(more aren't necessary),  and a bandwidth of 20 MHz or better.  Lots of folks 
seem to find them on ebay.  I like Tektronix,  H-P also makes a good one.  
For some stuff a pc-based scope will be good enough.  You might want to 
subscribe to the yahoo Electronics101 group and ask in there...
