It uses some analog sine/cosine stuff to draw real circular curve segments to form its digits, which looks really great.

It's a 20 MHz 2-channel analogue scope. I guess that it's 20 years old. On ebay.co.uk they go for about £20 - £60.

Taeken, I don't know where you are in the world, but maybe there's a business opportunity there for you to import second-hand test equipment? Right now, the price of digital storage scopes is falling (they are now being sold directly by Chinese companies like Rigol, not just the expensive western brands like Tektronics) so people are selling off the analogue scopes that they are replacing very cheaply.
