Anyone ever use one of these handheld scopes? How do you think it would do for DIY tube projects?

For example, my 20-year-old Hitachi V-222, 20-MHz.

If you think you don't really need a 'scope that much, then don't buy one. If you need one or want one, then I would suggest getting a real one.

It works ok for most audio applications. One thing I like is that it gives you a readout of RMS values in addition to the waveform. One thing I don't like is that even when off it slowly discharges the batteries so if you dont use it for a while take the batteries out or use rechargable.
I like it but I wouldnt pay $199 for one.
