That's true, as long as you're checking/adjusting. I used my P6015 for both checking/adjusting the power supplies as well as looking at the HV to see what's there if I'm troubleshooting. Plus, it's nice to be able to use that P6015 with a 7A13 and dial in an offset in order to get a really close look at ripple, noise, etc if you're looking for problems.
But, I do admit to using a scope in a lot of occasions when most folks use a meter. :-)

Aren't these voltages mostly DC? Wouldn't a good old DC HV probe do the trick as well? No CFCs.
I got an old RCA HV probe, and once I replaced the shunt resistor with a home-made (filed down) "calibrated" resistor so it reads correctly on modern DMMs, it works fine.

I would recommend a P6015 or P6015A. That's what I've used for decades. A P6013A would do it as well in most cases where the voltage is not above it's max rating.

What High voltage probe/s do you recommend to work on Oscilloscopes?
The older scopes seem to have much higher voltages. The 7603 has 12KV and -2975V. Newer scopes have only 2KV :(
Thank you
