I agree, working hands-on with someone knowledgeable by your side is ideal. I also recommend doing that with an older scope to get familiar with conventional controls. On Sat, May 4, 2024 at 12:00 PM Douglas Crawford via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Come to a workshop at infoage and work with someone. Maybe they can show you how to make measurements/diagnose using your scope on their repair.

I just got my first ever oscilloscope (Zoyi ZT-703s) but I have a problem - I don't have any broken computers! :) Anyone have any old computers that are repairable they want to get rid of? Probably something 8-bit just because I'm an absolute beginner. I'm also thinking something more common just because resources will be easier to find. Here's my wish list but I won't look any gift horses in the mouth!
1. Commodore 128 2. Atari 400(xl)/600/800(xl) 3. Apple IIc(+)
I've always wanted an Amiga (500) but I'm not sure if that's getting too complicated or not for the scope I got?
I'm in the Philadelphia area.
