BWD technical documentation is hard to come by. I'll check around for you. |

I wish we got to use these at tech. We only had the standard ones with the smaller screens. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away... |

Brad, this scope has limitations. Only 15 kHz bandwidth! 4 channel, so there's that. Strictly for classroom demonstrations I would think, but cool all the same. It must have cost a huge amount back in the day though. |

We generally only measured to 100Hz (electrical trade) though the same gear would have been used for the electronics apprenticeships. I am not sure how far up they'd have needed to go at the time. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away... |

Mine is a 539C. Saw info somewhere but did not need as I have its original book & probes. Bought it at a clearing sale, $30 took around 2Hrs+ to get it & the grot separated, did not keep the grot. Needs one pot replacing, which will involve my drill press. |
