FWIW my dad had both a Heathkit and EICO scope, the basic one and I
spent countless hours learning about Lissajous patterns using booklets

Leader scope at a computer fair of all places that I really learned some
useful stuff.

Another walk down memory lane...  I had a EICO VOM that https://www.newark.com/simpson/12211/multimeter-analog-7-functions/dp/01B6875?CMP=KNC-GUSA-GEN-PMAX-Shopping-New&mckv=_dc|pcrid||plid||kword||match||slid||product|01B6875|pgrid||ptaid||&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_JzABhC2ARIsAPe3ynqF21qzFHdgwHKhNSUv0M-05_8AuGw_7dZsssIBsACo5ZvkcUQySfQaAjt2EALw_wcBI built from a
kit. I got a lot of use from it before a coworker managed to destroy it.
The company replaced it with a Simpson 260 so it was a trade-up probably
although I think EICO copied the Simpson. I did not lend that one out and
also had the roll top case to protect it from clumsy wrench jockeys.

Back in the day you could get on an airplane with something like that.

You don't even want to know what a new Simpson meter cost these days.
I'm sure it can be had for less but here is one example..
