For repair on Bally early SS machines, is an oscilloscope used by many pinsiders? I bought a DMM and logic probe to help repair my Paragon but did not see many forum threads for oscilloscope use. How often would it be useful?

Thanks for the helpful comments. I'll stick with the DMM and logic probe since I'm not planning on getting into board repair.
I have a video digitizing business and own many 1980's and 90's industrial VCRs that I'm trying to handle basic repairs on. The repair books I've bought recommend old analog scopes like the Tektronix 465, 475 and the 2200/2400 series over the new digital scopes for functions like writing to the screen at the sweep speed and being able to evaluate waveform envelopes. I will probably pick one up for the VCR testing and use it for my Paragon if required.
