You're right. It took 2 minutes to hook up a Sun Oscilloscope and if you had a miss in the engine I could tell you what cylinder it was on, whether it was a bad spark plug or spark plug wire or whether you needed to dive deeper into the engine to find the problem.I disagree the assertion that the large Sun Diagnostic Testers were for show only. We used one in highschool, and at the craft shop in the military, and they were very useful if you knew how to use them. It was that not every one could afford a piece of test equipment that cost over $100k in their home shop.
I really wish I had an old Sun distributer tester and oscilloscope. Things are expensive.

oscilloscope is great when diagnosing electronic ignitions, dash regulators, and other pulsed type signals. You learn a lot looking at the waveforms too
