I now own a cathode ray oscilloscope! Just need to pick it up tomorrow, and then test/fix/calibrate as necessary.
“Connect a DC voltmeter to measure the voltage at TP10 (X74-1370) using a high voltage probe and check the voltage for -1.75kV +/- 0.08kV reading on the meter”
*checks*
Ima need a new multimeter that can handle more than 1kV
@jpm there are HV divider probes, worth having a vaguely safe one of you're doing any HT work
“Apply a line voltage (50/60Hz) to channel 1 input”
Hey @s0 will you kill me if I make an AS/3112 to BNC cable?
@s0 that’s kinda what I figured - if I didn’t kill myself then you’d kill me instead
I do appreciate that every single component inside this machine is documented in its manual
And by every component, i mean LITERALLY EVERY component
THE BEAST ARRIVES
And it’s going to need a bath before it comes inside.
I’m going to end up buying a 40kV 1000:1 ratio multimeter probe #StraightOuttaShenzen aren’t I?
Right, time for a bath. I think it’s mostly diesel soot?

Top panel off, rinse it under the host, scrub with warm water with dishwashing detergent, rinse it off, into the oven to express-dry because it’s made out of steel
Can definitely see where the cooling vents are open to the world

Screen protector off, it’s holding the front bezel on
Bottom off as well, there’s more front bezel clips underneath
Disassemble the sweep time / div knob, now that’s holding on the front bezel
2 small grub screws to get the front knob off, and 3 tiny brass screws holding the larger ring to the mechanism

Oh, good, that little tab at about the 2 o’clock position on the Delay Time dial is meant to come off, I didn’t just break it off
@jpm uh i better check if any of my bids got through, eh?
@jpm nope all outbid
@Unixbigot awww. And yeah all the prices shot up at the end, goddamn snipers
@jpm that's... that's unbelievably cool
