jrz126 said:So does that scope that I was looking at on ebay seem like a good deal?
Also, is this scope only capable of 60Mhz? Should I buy it if I can get it for less than $500?
I just want to say that i have allways liked the idea of using an A/D converter hooked up to a PC for an oscilliscope...Digi-D said:Has anyone used the bitscope? It seems pretty nice for the price and the features.
I'm currently looking at:

Can anyone recommend/steer away?
thnx

Now that I think about it, it is a lot of money, although it's only a 2 week paycheck (42 hours total). Maybe I'll look into getting a cheaper scope, and a good DMM. How much do those autoranging ones usually run for?
I'm going to talk to some of my profs tomorrow and see what they recommend.
Also, I picked up one of those portable scopes while i was volunteering at a second hand store about a year ago, someone stuffed it away in the back, so I got it for about $1.00. It's battery powered but the battery isnt there. I have the instruction manual (which has a schematic of the entire unit, even tells you what voltages you should be getting at different nodes.) I tried putting power to it, but the power switch seems to be bad, I jumped it out and got it to turn on. so the tube works? (i got it to show a dot, I don't think I could get a sweep out of it?).
The instruction manual gives a bunch of detail on how to recalibrate it, so I think I would be able to get it accurate again.
theres one up for auction on ebay **broken link removed**
so should I seriously look into getting it to work? What usually goes bad/needs replaced on old equipment like this?
you should definatly try getting it to work..I should seriously look into getting it to work?
jrz126 said:I'm looking through the manual right now, They give some powersupply voltages to check, there are some high voltages in there from the CRT. Are these high voltages stored anywhere? or does it discharge as soon as I turn it off? If I'm going to be playing around in there, I dont wanna shock myself.
I'll probably scan the schematic and post it later today.
