Hey all youse 'scope gurus,

Anyway, do I need a different 'scope to to measure accurately what
is going on inside vacuum tube equipment?

no

If you all think another 'scope should be in my future I would love
some advice. Since this is a hobby I don't wanna spend a lot of money
on yet another toy, er tool. So a used 'scope is fine with me. I love
my used TEK 465B.

Everybody should have another scope now and again. I have 11 at the
moment, which is none too many.

(On average I pay about 3 cents on the dollar, which makes new scopes an
easier sell.)

If you're going to get one you don't need, consider making it a pocket scope. Quite handy, even with modest specs.

I have been looking at some on eBay. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,

My next one might be something with serial decode.

What does serial decode do?

It reads out the hex data on a serial bus such as SPI or I2C. Sort of a
poor man's logic analyzer.

Cheers
