For starters, you might check this:
4 Channel Spectrum Analyzer, Ham radio Mag., Oct. 1972, page 6. I think this used a single channel scope as a base.

or go here for kits you can build for the "Poor Man's Spectrum Analyzer":

I've used the scope sweep ramp signal to tune a VCO. A CA3089 if strip was used for the log amp as the meter output circuiy has about of 40 dB of dynamic range,  I Suggest you save your money and time and invest in a HP141. You will end up much happier.
