Offer them $35. Leader scopes are decent and the BW is fine for your use.

And have them add the schematics so you can repair it yourself.
Check wether Leader used any proprietary semiconductors and
wether the CRT has burnt in trace.
You may well want to check eBay for comparable offers, too.



More important than burn is to make sure the CRT can still produce a sharp
trace. It should only take a few minutes to plug it in and verify basic
functionality though. For 50 bucks it's hard to go wrong on a working 20 MHz
scope, that's more than enough scope for the average hobbyist.
