Hello Nick
Sig gens often turn up at vey low prices . May need a little repair but normally this isn't too difficult, certainly for valve units. Advance made some good ones and I have a BVWS article on the one I sorted (PDF), PM me an e-mail and I will let you have it. Give you an idea.
Scopes are a bit more tricky and it depends what you intend to do. High spec ones aren't needed if the aim is just to do radio work. Ask on here what to look out for and someone may even have a working unit.
You will have a lot of fun and education on learning to drive them. I'm sure you will enjoy it and its the way to go if you want to go further in the hobby.
Building things is great, its how many of us learnt, so I'm glad my post wasn't discouraging. Improves your soldering and use of hand tools as well as electronics.
