Hello all,
I am completely new to oscilliscopes, and I just acquired one of these for free, since it was not working. Cool thing is that the technical manual is downloadable and the user manual as well, since this is a military unit.
Now the rub: I have never used an oscilliscope, and might not ever use one, however I'm learning electronics repair and my Dad is telling me that this could be an invaluable piece of troubleshooting equipment. Another problem is that you normally need a couple things to troubleshoot an oscilliscope, such as a frequency generator and - another oscilliscope.
I've used the flow chart on the technical manual and it appears that the horizontal signal board needs to be repaired. The CRT projects a beam only when I press the TEST button and only vertical adjustments are possible. Horizontal adjustments while holding the test? button down do nothing.
Anyone in the San Antonio TX area willing to help a newbie out? I work long hours (3am - 8pm mostly) so the time I get off is usually weekends.
