Hawkeye Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Had to test that new-old scope from ebay :) Thanks for listening! Greets, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 That is both a really cool song and an amazing use of an oscope ;) If I can ask, which did you get and how do you like it? When I get back to working on the PSU section of my SID synth, I was thinking of grabbing up one so I could see if I could measure ripple and other things. See a lot of Tektronix brand scopes for pretty cheap off eBay that go up to 100MHz (plenty for what I would need, I would think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Thanks Tim, it is just an old 20MHz scope - should be good for almost everything up to 2MHz digital because of the harmonics or so - it is a Hameg 203-5 from around 1986 :) - about 50 bucks on ebay. I think that it is nicer for audio waveform display than those new TFT scopes, as it has no resolution limitation and also has that nice bright beam, which you can use to attract your cats or other house co-inhabitants :) Greets, Peter Edited April 11, 2012 by Hawkeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yeah agreed I'd want an analog display for one I get. Seems like they are more responsive and more fun to use anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojjelito Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Glühwürmchen (glow-worms) on screen :thumbsup: People need waveform displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Absolutely! Unfortunately the nice update speed of the scope beam cannot be transported via youtube video :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Absolutely! Unfortunately the nice update speed of the scope beam cannot be transported via youtube video :) But it still looks cool, was a good song, and made me now want my own o-scope :) And wow they have really come down in price on eBay! SCIENCE! *whoosh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
