Yes, OK, but Fields did not read very well, you only need the accurate one ONCE. And that means you can go to a place and have yor reference measured.

CRTs are cool, your own linear accellertor, cool physics. Few years from now they will become very valuable things. Also EM pulses do not kill CRTs. So after the next nuke war it is all you have to watch TV (if there is any):

That is true, but it seems if your read the specs on the expensive ones, then those are sometimes also that accurate on DC only and on limited ranges.

stuff anyways.

or LIGO,

Nothing wrong there. Will probably outlast LCD.

• linear transformer

Where have you been the last thirty years?

• steel chassis = boat anchor.

Aluminum chassis

LCD

Yecch!

• smps +

Plastic box + soldering iron = nasty. Plastic box + accidental pull on cable = instrument on the floor. Too damn lightweight.

Plastic box bad, metal box good. All oscilloscopes are oscilloscopes, some are more oscilloscope than others. Apologies to the late George Orwell;-)

My TEK 2213 has a CRT and NO iron-core heavy transformer. it's very lightweight,too. the TEK 2465 series had no iron-core transformer,and were the BEST analog scope ever made.

The TEK 7000 series were very good scopes,and no "boat anchors",even the ones with iron transformers.

I will admit that the TEK 7500 series were boat anchors;they were real crap.

stuff anyways.

or LIGO,

Which one cannot do without a KNOWN source voltage and a KNOWN capacity to read current accurately.

Is that what happened to you? You studied Brain-loosphy?

Wow. Was that sentence hard to write?

We can tell, yet you are always spewing your Windows-hating-fucktard philosophies in here, you retarded f*ck!

You're an idiot.

But quiet (electrically)

and dies a lot faster than the older scopes.

Yes.

Yes.

It's assumed I mean 'boat anchor' pejoratively. Big heavy old worn out equipment have the weight qualification to keep a small boat from drifting away but I didn't say it's crap. One could say they own a kickass boat anchor. Maybe that can be said about the Tek 7904.

Do not remember the cover, not interesting, but some of the statements in it were interesting, but indicated your state of mind in some aspects, so that is why I thought I should mention it, stay clear of it :-)

No you do not, how do you think those instruments came about? In your theory nothing could ever be made. :-)

How else will it make the news? ;-)

Ohms law was not a guess, idiot. It is what it is all the time, without err. All the elements that make it up can be arrived at and proven via other observations of the physical realm, not just with a volt/ohm meter.
