I received a 1960's RCA WO-91C Oscilloscope from a relative as a gift a couple of months ago and just now determined it had a blown fuse. I replaced the fuse and it turns on. I'm very excited to finally have an oscilloscope.
I found a manual for the WO-91B version online as a PDF, here it is: http://pacifictv.ca/schematics/rcawo91badjustment.pdf
I have a photo of the front attached.
I was wondering if someone with any knowledge of o-scopes, old or new, has any basic start-up knowledge for me so I can start to use it as a tool for circuit testing, such as visualizing waveforms, etc.
What can one do with such an oscilloscope? How do I measure a signal? Acceptable voltage levels? Can I hook a microphone up to it and watch myself speak?
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks, George.
