saveitforparts | I Got An Oscilloscope! Now What Do I Do With It? @saveitforparts | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I've heard about these new-fangled Oscilloscope things for a while, so I finally bought one... from 1946! This is about the smallest, simplest, and cheapest scope I've ever seen, so I figured it'd be a good starter for someone like me who has never touched one before!
This is a Philco Junior Scope. It uses vacuum tubes, has a tiny CRT display, and only has 7 controls. I was able to do a couple interesting things with it, like evaluate power bank inverters and look at audio waveforms.
I'm looking for recommendations for a next step in my oscilloscope journey! What should I look for? What features are vital and which are unnecessary? What can I do with one that would help me with the type of projects I do? Suggestions are welcome!
