What other Marantz models used the same Scope as a Nineteen?

Am thinking about buying a restored Model Nineteen from a buddy. It has two problems. The balance control has been bypassed because it doesn't work. The CRT scope doesn't work and the tech says it is because of a bad winding on the transformer in that circuit. Wondering what other Marantz models used the same CRT scope? Also wondering if any Marantz rotary balance knob would work in the Nineteen?

120 tuner uses the same scope tube too. The winding issue was supposedly solved by the time the 19 came out, the 18 had the winding issue. Quite possible that it's a problem with the scope circuit- i guess measuring the windings would rule it out.
 
Unless you really trust the tech I wouldn't just assume he was correct and the transformer is bad.
It seems pretty common for the caps to go and not provide full voltage to the scope. That's how it was for my 19 anyway.
