I strongly suggest you look at the digital scopes, if you are trying to get familiar with scope operation. There are some things they won't do but might satisfy your needs.

I am looking for a fully functional unit. I'd be satisfied with a 20mhz or better dual trace. I am going to be using it on amplifier mostly at this point. I've been looking on eBay without much success. I've heard that the ham radio events are great places to buy old oscilloscopes, etc. I am hoping there may be some local events happening soon and/or maybe some local members may have O-scopes for sale.

If they are single sided, we make our own, I conducted a class for doing this at that at one of our club meetings. If it's double sided, or we need quantity, It's best to use Express PCB. I have a running account with them and have had over 60 boards made by them over the past 3 years. But for small quantities or experimental, there soft-ware is excellent for home making small quantity single sided units, keep in mind you have to reverse the top and bottom images (because you are making copies of a positive (not negative) image. We use a conventional laser printer and then heat transfer the Toner image to a copper board, then etch and drill it. (drills are available at harbor Freight.

If you already have an approved design, and need to make a quantity, Express (or Sunshine circuits) is the best route, but remember that it's very costly if you make a mistake in your artwork, like specifying too small a hole and with through hole plating, you Cannot re-drill the hole to make it larger, i.e. you could easily have a dozen useless boards.
