I would like to adapt a 5441 Oscilloscope to a custom application.
The fabrication is straight forward.
However, the CRT is just WAY TO BIG. With all of the mechanical
concerns satisfied, would it be feasable to adapt, say, the SC503 CRT
for such an application?
The biggest question is, "Will the SC503 CRT be FAST enough for the
writing speeds, both storage and non-storage, for the 5441?"; you see
the SC503 as a mainframe is rated to 10 MHz, I believe, and the 5441, 60.
I do know that the CRT in my 7704A and the spare CRT I keep are the
same as that used in the 7904A. In addition, the SC502 and SC504
share the same CRT.
I'd just like to know that I'd work before I start looking around for
a SC503 or worse, start butchering one!
I do have the 5441 and really like it as storage scopes go. It's
really small compared to my 7704A!
Looking ahead, what would some of the modifications that I'd have to
make? On which specifications should I be focusing?
THANKS GROUP: THE TM5515 is a go!
