If you want to pay Pasternack's prices, and get Pasternack catalogs in
the mail every month or so for the next umpteen years (>>grin<<)

OK, he's good with google, first hit.
Just wanted the guy to see a picture.

At the price of the adapters unless the probe is high dollar, you can get a
whole new probe rated over 50 MHz for the same price. I bought a coupld to
use with a 100 MHz scope and can not tell much differance in them an a
Tectronix probe rated for the same frequency range. That is why I said just
cut off the end unless he has a bnc connector laying around he can just
pigtail a couple of wires to.

Pigtails aren't as good. The benefit of a probe and coax cable/BNC connector is
that one often works on hazardous voltages, and the probe is a safe handle to grab
onto, even if the probe tip is on the 360V node...
The best BNC-to-banana adapters for an oscilloscope, are the ones with a grounded
shroud so the live wire isn't touchable. These used to be common, but now, not so much.
 
Some oscilloscopes had a UHF connector and ground binding post, that are compatible
with banana plugs; for those, a UHF-to-BNC adapter is the best way to proceed

Maybe overkill to buy a modern probe and try to "hack" it to use on this old
'scope.
 
Just use a set of conventional 4mm multimeter style test probes. The high
frequency limitations of such a probe arrangement aren't a concern with this
'scope, which probably has a bandwidth of perhaps 500 kHz.
 
I suppose the 1 meg input impedance might load down certain nodes in the
Arduino, though...
 
Here's another thought. One can often find a funtional dual-trace 50 meg or
so 'scope with probes in the 50-75.00 range on eBay.
 
Just a thought...

** That pic looks exactly like a regular NTC thermistor.
 
Mains voltage rated PTCs are used in the AC supply to PSUs, both transformer and switchmode to provide anti-surge PLUS overload protection.
 
Impressive to see one doing its job, running stinking hot while allowing only 25mA or so into the faulty PSU.

Ours is a Philips "Wirlpool" dishwasher, UK made, it has a separate
drain pump. The main motor is a two pole induction one.
 
The only one that I've ever seen with a single motor would have been
30 years old or more, and that had a weird rubber flap valve with a
peg on it that was moved in one direction or the other by the
impellor blades themselves. The valve opened the drain port when
pushed one way and blocked it off when pushed the other.
 
The problem with this arangement was that if debris held the flap away
from the drain port, was that the machine would very slowly empty
itself.
