DSE Bargain CRO

[Phil Allison]

** Anyone here had a good look and play with the DSE, 10 MHz CRO yet ??

For a mere $158 inc gst plus nice 10:1 probe chucked in it MUST be hard
to beat for value even against used CROs.

The specs look pretty good and it has a decent 1.2 kV acceleration voltage.

Very neat and compact too.

Incredibly cheap. Almost half the price of equivalent units like the
Instek/Goodwill 10MHz model.
Would be interesting to get a look inside.
Hard to beat against a used model indeed, if the specs are what you are
after.

**'Tis cheap. I doubt that it uses a PDA tube though. Still and all, 10MHz
for 160 Bucks is hard to beat. I wonder what the wholesale price is? I'll
make a call tomorrow.

Don't know about that, I only paid $220 for a Tektronix 475A off Ebay, 250
megs bandwidth, and probably one of the best scopes made by anybody
anywhere. Its old but works fine.

** Till tomorrow maybe - then it is beyond repair.

No spares, super complex design.

Total fucking disaster waiting to happen.

Just like you - SHITHEAD.

Yeah, well anything more complicated than a side opening toaster or
replacing a jug element is beyond your capability Toaster Boy. Know wonder
you were fascinated by the toy CRO.

** This is not ever going to stop:


The Rutmaniac Arse Bandit has **NEVER** told us how much money
the Thai pal he "imported" into Perth ripped off from his credit card and
bank accounts.

He has refused, over and over, to say why he never reported the crime his
Thai boy lover committed to his Bank or to the WA police.


** This post of his on " rec.travel asia " from 1997 explains the event:


------------------------------­------------------------------­---

" WARNING - Tourism dangers for Gay Tourists in Thailand


In my case I was coerced into sponsoring a Thai into Australia. I was
lead down the garden path into a false sense of security about my
relationship with this person. His aim was clearly to get me to purswade
the Australian Embassy to grant him a visa. Once here I didn't exist after
he drained my bank account and ran my credit card into overdraft.


Alan Rutlidge (Perth Western Australia) "

----------------------------- ------------------------------------


** The 1997 date pretty much co-incidences with the enactment of
Section 50 BA of the Commonwealth Crimes Act.

This is the law that finally made engaging in or promoting under age
sex tourism a criminal offence - max penalty 17 years in jail.


BTW

The age of consent for gay males in WA in 1997 was 21 years old.

Come on - Arse Bandit - we all need to know if you were being
blackmailed.



** I do not care how many of your vile, criminal colleagues you organise
to intimidate me.

It only makes you look so much WORSE !!!

WOW, This is the third time you've posted this to the same newsgroup today.

Gawd, you must be bored shitless by now.

 

[quietguy]

Yep, I bought one - very nice unit, easy to use, appears well made, and is a bargain for the price.

I have also just bought one of their 20meg CROs and that too is fine (I found I needed 2 channels
afterall) nice units for the money

David

PS My 10 meg unit is for sale - only 3 or 4 hours use, still under guarantee - all offers
considered

 

[David L. Jones]

The "don't you think" part was rhetorical, I was talking about the
2"X2.5" display. My wife's digital camera has a display nearly that
big.

Just plugged a 19" LCD monitor into my Agilent 6000 series scope at
work, now THAT'S a scope display! Next stop, the LCD projector on the
wall :->
Damn impressive scope the 6000.

Dave

 

[quietguy]

I went through the process of considering a better s/h unit instead of a lessor new unit, but in the
end felt that while one of those better cros would be great if it worked and continued working, the
cost of any repairs would probably break my bank, as I am not cluey enough to fix one of those, and
would/might need a cro to do the repair.

A new CRO is nice, has that nice "new CRO" smell, and you get that
warm-fuzzy as you peel the plastic protective cover off the front
panel. Just like a new car, everyone should own one at least once!

Now you can get yourself an old second hand high bandwidth one as well

**Now that's a twist: Usually, guys brag about their red sports cars, or the
size of their guns. You're using your CRO as a penis substitute?

Mind you: I am jealous. Those Agilent 'scopes are kinda nice.

The "don't you think" part was rhetorical,

** My "no" was not rhetorical.

The screen size is perfectly OK for a single beam CRO.

The detail and resolution of such a CRT screen is far better than that of
LCD scopes that cost $2000 and with screens many times the size.

I was talking about the
2"X2.5" display. My wife's digital camera has a display nearly that
big.

** See above.

A battery operated NLS MS-15 (15 MHz) mini scope has a 4 x 5 CRT screen
where each division is 0.25 inches.

That is only one quarter the size of the DSE CRO but still quite usable as
it is very sharp.

** Two questions:


1. Is there an external means of rotating the trace - ie make it horizontal
in spite of the earths mag field.

2. Is there any spec for the maximum *safe* ( ie non damaging) input
voltage on the vertical amp?

** You know SFA about anything.

An interesting observation since you know SFA about me, still I suppose that
you are another one of these people who never lets facts get in the way of
an opinion however stupid it may be.

I only paid $220 for a Tektronix 475A off Ebay, 250


** Till tomorrow maybe - then it is beyond repair.

Since I have been using it for the last 3 years, it has paid for itself
already

No spares, super complex design.

Funny, I could have sworn that Tektronix is still in business anyway second
hand spares are easy to obtain, you just need the skill to use them.
Obviously the prospect of something like that scares the shit out of you.

Total fucking disaster waiting to happen.

Well stick to your tricky dicky toy scopes, if you can't handle the real
tools its probably best that way. I suppose that anything faster than 10
megs is beyond your comprehension anyway and trying to use a delayed
timebase would strain your little brain beyond meltdown.

Just like you - SHITHEAD.

You must be one of them interlekchals to come up with such a profound
observation.

I suppose its like they say, just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean
that they aren't out to get you.

Keep on taking the pills, it looks like you may have skipped a few doses.
