Well I finally got my scope out and gave my self a sort of crash course on how to use it. It's a 1975 Tektronix 475. Last calibrated in 1986. :D I found it on eBay about 10 years ago and it was cheap enough, I figured I could at least play with it and learn something. Bought probes and all, but never got around to using it.
At any rate, I'm not sure this scope will show me what I want to know; if the 7805 is oscillating. I can see it's putting out 5V by the scope, but I can't adjust it enough (or don't know how) to get it to show if it's oscillating. I can *barely* see a wave form but I have no idea how to read the frequency. If anyone wants to tell me what to set all the switches and knobs to, I'll give it a try. Meanwhile JT was nice enough to send me one of his little 5V regulators. I'm waiting on a better desoldering iron to arrive before I butcher this clock any further. Thanks for everyone's help so far!
