An oscilloscope is one of those nice things to have but it isn't really something you need to have to work on old radios of the 1930s. I have about three of them, I think all three were given to me from various sources, and I don't think I have used any of them since I don't really play with vintage TVs or FM sets that much. Mostly what I use is a signal generator, and from time to time I calibrate it with a borrowed frequency counter. I think part of the reason they were given to me is much the same reason they sit collecting dust in my possession, they just don't get used much.
Regards
