I used a Tektronix 556 for many years (531 before that). Moved up to Tektronix 7904 and 7834. Used these for about 20 years before getting a digital Tek scope. The price of the 7904 and 7834 with plug-ins was about $45,000 each in todays dollars. The DC accuracy was about 2 percent.
Anyone remember the Tektronix 519 1Ghz scope?
My scope at home after retiring is a Rigol 1102E. the bandwidth is only 100Mhz as compared to 400 and 500 Mhz of the Tek scopes. But every thing else is far better and it cost only about $400.
Fluke meter DC accuracy can be about .2 percent to about .005 percent depending on how much you want to spend.
