Default Test gear

A net aquaintance asked me what he needs for test gear to dial in a
boatanchor. He told me he had a signal generator, vtvm, and a toob
tester. I thought a scope might be a good addition to his bench and
recommend a used BK. They seem to be a good buy and plenty guys have
them and service info I think is easy to get. I have Tek 465 but I
don;t think that is a good scope for basic bench. Too complicated and
prone to fail and so forth.

I would like to hear comments on my recomendation for scope and also
if there is some other piece of gear he should have.
