I got my first scope, a Heathkit, when I was in junior high school. It
was I think 5 MHz, all ac-coupled, repetitive sweep, uncalibrated,
pretty primitive.

I later got a summer job in a university physics  department and got
to use a Tektronix. I was amazed. That 535 cost as much as a Chevrolet
at the time.
