I have a old heathkit tube oscilloscope. It is a model I0-17. I was wanting to learn a little about it and how to use it. My biggest question is how much voltage can a scope usually handle? This scope doesn't have any probes. Are there special probes for scopes that are different than those for multimeters?
My first project I want to use it for is trying to find where I'm getting a buzz in my stereo. It will buzz if my computer is hooked up to and it is grounded. If the computer is ungrounded it doesn't buzz. The stereo only has a two wire connector so it isn't groudned. I thought this scope could be usefull in tracking down where the buzzing is coming from.. Anyhow I need to know if I can plug this thing into the wall (120vac) or if it will blow up if I do that.
