Greetings Everybody, My son brought by today an old oscilloscope. The Brand is Lambda and the model is MM-2. On the back are three pairs of terminals. One is marked with G & V, one G & H, and the last pair R & S. So the first two pairs are pretty obvious, horizontal and vertical, but I don't have any idea what the last pair is for. The screen is about 2 inches in diameter, and is marked with painted on lines. Two lines, one above the screen center and the other below are marked carrier frequency. Removing the cover shows "NAVY" printed on the side of the CRT. This link:
Anybody familiar with this 'scope?

Looks like the early days of vector scopes. They used overlays to represent data. Jamie

Some "real" oscilloscopes have a Z-axis input that lets you modulate the brightness of the spot. I don't know if that's what you have, though.
How about this: come up with a 1.5 V battery (AA, C, D, whatever) and about a 1k or 5k ohm pot. Connect the battery across the ends of the pot and take your output across battery - and the wiper of the pot. In other words:

Seems to have couple of tubes inside for DC supply and sweep.
H and V may be direct connections to the CRT's deflection plates.
Maybe try linking S and R.
