SCOPE QUESTIONS ?

[Switch Kit]

Could somebody give me some info on this scope ? Are they any good ? , I have one but the screen doesn't seem to light up ? the tubes inside do and it's fairly clean inside and out . Any info would be appreciated. thanks

That scope wasn't exactly 'state of the art' when it was brand new, which was close to twenty years ago. Don't expect to 'do' a lot with it.
If the 'screen' isn't lighting up, doesn't produce some sort of wiggly line with just touching the input, the cathode-ray tube is shot. Unless they are almost giving it away (literally), I don't think it's much of a good deal. Unless you're a 'Heathkit' collector.

May not be the cathode-ray tube, but you can bet something isn't right.

Hey Mr G . long time no see Nah , was just wondering what this old clunker was all about. Good to see you around.

This Heathkit HO-10 probably can't be used directly as an o'scope. It was designed to connect to certain Heathkit transmitters, and some of their earlier transceivers, to serve as a monitor of transmitted signal quality. I don't think it would be sensitive enough or wide enough to be useful as anything but what it was designed for.
