Nice to find an unbuilt kit like that! A Dutchtronix or similar can probably tie into the existing XY amplifiers just fine, but if the scope board you choose requires blanking, you may have an issue. Even if there is a Z-axis input, it is most likely capacitively-coupled because the cathode/grid is at a high negative potential.
In my Kikusui 537 build <http://oscilloclock.com/gallery/kikusui-537>, where I re-used the existing deflection amps and HV circuitry, I embedded an isolated blanking amplifier (actually just a partially-populated version of my standard power board). This worked a treat, but it means I had to install two boards in the unit, plus a supply board. All up, it would have been easier to bypass everything and drive the CRT directly. The image quality also leaves something to be desired. But the advantage is that I can fiddle with the front panel controls, as they all do something! - Aaron On Friday, September 14, 2018 at 11:07:32 PM UTC+9, Bill van Dijk wrote: > > I was lucky enough to pick up a complete, unbuilt, 5MHz Heathkit > oscilloscope kit at a local ham flea market last > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
