Apart from rubbish messing about with an HS2 display as a teenager my first scope was a Cossor 339 (which I still have). As an apprentice with Ferranti I learnt to use the things on a little Telequipment. Then as a student and as an HP employee I used HP180 series (50Mhz probably the same as Jeffrey) but really liked the sampling plug-ins both 500MHz and 1GHz when designing 140MHz digital circuitry. For general purpose work it was later to be the HP1725A (275MHz) a rather tired example of which I still own. Latterly in my HP/Agilent career I enjoyed using the delightful little HP54610 500MHz digital scopes although I did get caught out occasionally with aliasing.
My own trusty HP1725A now suffers from a rather dim CRT so I often find it easier to use a little Kikusui 40MHz scope that I bought at an autojumble for £7.
