OK, where do I start? I've never had a solid state scope that malfunctioned. I bought this yesterday from a guy on CL; we met in a restaurant lot (kinda' like a drug deal) and I gave him a few bucks and off we went. He assured me he got a 60hz trace and when he wakes up in hell tomorrow morning........
Anyway, I have downloaded the appropriate manual. There is only one trace I can find and it looks like a wavy blob; it won't focus properly. The batteries haven't leaked, one good thing, and it appears to have service marks from 1984, not sure if that was just the original assembly markings.
So generally, where does one start besides not getting between ground the the trace voltage? Any references I can use? If the batteries are toast (they probably are) do they affect the operation if the AC is used for power?
Any help appreciated. Thanks guys!
