Incredible! I was looking at a machine today going for 100 dollars. Should I not buy it then? sorry i am 20 years too late to this thread. I also was wondering if these machines can play PAL tapes? Thanks!

I'll bite. (You've added no context to the original post, amd I'm not
looking)
 
28 years old, probably filled with caps that will need replacing.
 
Does it have a timebase corrector? So professional, or Sony hype?

"Noise bursts" = static. One second's worth, then silence, then
another burst.

Thanks! It's a start. I'll give it a look, though the power output is
way more than the NU1000DSP.

Obviously, not you.
 
Your ignorance is showing again. The only steel cased scope I ever knowingly owned was an RCA. It was so old they called it an oscillograph. I've seen the Philco and Sylvania versions of the 3" WWII military scopes that were crammed into tiny steel boxes. I wouldn't even use one for audio work. They sat on a shelf at TV shops for decades because no one would use them.
 
Heathkit used aluminum, because they could produce their cabinets in house with simpler machine tools. Just because you are ignorant doesn't change any facts. Heathkit also had to consider shipping costs, since hey sold to hobbyists and repair shops where their only advantage over other kit suppliers was maybe a dollar or two. Therefore, they were more compact and lighter than failed companies like EICO. My first scope was an EICO 460 that was given to me because the CRT filament winding was shorted to the core. It was twice as heavy as a similar Heathkit, and not as well designed.
 
Heathkit got into electronic kits after WWII when there were millions of pounds of military grade components being sold for pennies on the pound. New CRTs were well under a dollar, so the designed a scope from what they could get.
 
Their prior products included a small, single engine airplane and furniture kits. They also sold electric organ kits, based on commercial products where you coukld save 1/3 to 1/2 overt the retail price by assembling the kit. A far cry from Dick Smith in OZ.
 
Take your meds and stop acting like a six year old. You can be a decent guy at times, but every time someone brings up something that you don't know about, you go nuts.

** Poor diddums - could not afford a good, steel case one ......
 
FYI: Steel has both strength & magnetic qualities that are an advantage with CRT scopes.

** Yep - steel is way better but a bit harder to work.
