  1. So… the dead Philips scope is up today. Well it still works but I won‘t turn it on as the filter cap has burned out…

  2. 🎉 Introducing #BPS, the #GPS #alternative for those who love empty booths and overpriced oscilloscopes! 📉🤷‍♂️ #Jeff #Geerling takes us on a thrilling #adventure of finding #tech that even your GPS can't locate 🧭—because, let's face it, no one else cares! 😂

  3. Hola mastodonte, ¿quieres darle una segunda vida a tu #osciloscopio arrumbado?

    En Medialab de @lacasainvisible lo aceptamos encantadas como donación o préstamo largo. Te garantizamos que solo lo utilizaremos para hacer el mal 😈

    I was just looking at #oscilloscopes an see a non-linear relationship in $/MHz as frequencies increase.

    #Rigol does well from $2/MHz @ 100 MHz to $7.50/MHz @ 2 GHz (vs. $20/MHz for a similar Tek scope).

  5. Back in the days, #tektronix #oscilloscopes would come with a little roll of solder (3% silver as required by the ceramic terminal strips) inside the case for future repairs.
    Maybe #sparc stations should have come with tubes of JB Weld… damn these things get brittle.

  6. I was given a load of old #Tektronix manuals that were going to be dumped. Some include software. Would anyone be interested in them before they go on eBay? They're in very, very good condition.

    EDIT: These are located in Galway, Ireland. I'm happy to post to US but at minimum that will cost €173.

  7. Looking for anyone who has experience with cheap 1- or 2-channel digital oscilloscopes like FNIRSI or similar brands. I occasionally need to check hardware at home to see if I've configured it properly, or if the components are working properly, and not really keen on spending a lot of money.

    My immediate need is for checking the time pulse output from a GPS receiver, so 3.3V/1Hz is fine.

  8. If you love #electronics and circuits in particular, you inevitably love #oscilloscopes. If you recall the era before cheap digital oscilloscopes, you remember that #Tektronix 7000 scopes were just 😍😍😍. Have a look to this incredible book about them, DEFINITELY a gem, by Gianni Becattini: k100.biz/zParade/Tekscopes%20l

  9. I got these two #oscilloscopes for my #birthday this weekend. They are old, but just as useful as ever.

    I haven't connected them up yet, but I am very excited about the projects I will be able to do mow at home.

    I have a digital one that connects to my laptop, but this just hits differently!

  10. The #Tektronix 7000-series #oscilloscopes were highly versatile because of the many different vertical and horizontal plug-ins available. Some offered features that are hard to reproduce with any modern scope. The 7A22 was a high-gain (up to 10 μV/div) 1 MHz differential amplifier with adjustable high and low-pass filters. The 7A13 was a 100 MHz differential amplifier with an adjustable dc source that could be applied to either input. Both were introduce in 1969. #electronics

  11. i got one of those cheap little pocket #oscilloscopes off of aliexpress back in late october and it finally showed up a few days ago and damned if the thing doesn’t actually work

    the control interface is random madness but honestly i’m kind of loving it particularly for $60 i mean wow
