Magnus, That sounds like a leaky coupling capacitor. Complexity depends on whether the 602 has a Z amplifier, with a gain control somewhere. Simple scopes just couple the CRT grid (or cathode) to a rear panel connector with a single cap. Look for a "black beauty" with a cracked, oily case. That's

Magnus, I can't help you with the manual, but I agree, it will be useful for T&F applications. I have a newer model X-Y display (the one with storage, forget the model) which I intend to use for T&F. By the way, for anyone who is wondering, a conventional TV Vectorscope works great as a phase com

There is no law or regulation that requires this though, just a technical requirement. Apparently the Nortel VPN client requires it too, as I just had to fix my timezone info to get connected to work! -Bob On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 9:17 AM, Scott McGrath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes - > > PCI
