I have an old Telequipment analog oscilloscope that works perfectly, aside from a sketchy probe. It has modest specifications, but is good for anything I plan on needing it for anytime soon. The main thing I dont like about this scope is that it is a rackmount, very clumsy and takes up a lot of space. Approximately 33% of the case is completely emprty. I would like to convert it into a benchtop unit.
My question is, can I take all of the circuitry out, and attach it to a different CRT? And if that even worked, would it still be an accurate scope?
I could, for example, convert an old TV into an accurate bench scope. But the CRT on the scope now is only like 4", so am wondering how it would work on something like a 9" or larger CRT. Another idea, although some may not like it, is to convert an old Mac Classic I have to an oscope. It is nice because it is small, has a handle for carrying, I believe just enough room to fit the oscope PCB and all the dials, and has a (guessing) 9" B&W CRT. Or another idea would be to slightly mod the CRT from my Apple //e to accept an input from the oscope PCB.
Thanks for any advice.
