David, Shipping is the problem. I an retired and watch my pennies. Bob

Update, My wife came home from a trip and tells me EWaste pickup is Monday morning (tomorrow). So today I will pull off a few things like knobs and some boards from the partly working 7613 (HV supply,

Clean up time. With recent health changes I have to reduce my long term projects, encouraged by a higher in house authority. So, Two Scopes are going. One is a partial 7633. Whats left besides the fra

Ed, Thank you for the reply. Actually based on all this new information to me, I am looking into several possibilities. Although I hadn't planned on monitoring the generator, your suggestion would mak

Chuck, Since this is more of a general topic, I thought it might be better in a separate message. This topic came out of a different subject related to safely using an oscilloscope to look at home gen

Chuck, How do you connect your probe leads to the transformer output. Isn't the output side now independent of a ground reference? At my workbench, I use a 7A22 with two probes in differential setup.

Some results: 1. My true RMS meter arrived, so I ran a few basic tests with the meter and the 465M. After starting the generator and letting it warm up, I connected a 500W shop lamp for a resistivity

Getting back to a Tektronix question, I have P6009 probes. Wouldn't using those be safe from over voltage outputs (If there are any) of a generator to the 465M oscilloscope? Bob

OK, I just bought an inexpensive TRMS meter with good reviews. Arrives in a couple of days. Very interested in what that shows. Also, I bought the generator used. It ran rough at first. Replaced the f

First, a question came up about my background. With a year of military training I was a radio repair tech in the Army, both tube and transistor equipment. I worked my way through college (business deg

Yes, it is for rare temporary use. We have had several 12 hour or so blackouts since I have lived here. The reason for the scope test, I want to understand what the generator is producing. As for elec

First , thanks everyone for the feedback. I do want to be safe. So, I haven't, don't and won't be floating the scope. Never have and don't see why I would. In the house if I need that type of measurem

Also, I just checked the main breaker panel and the ground and neutral are on the same bus bar. My extension cord for the scope will have a triple tap on the end. So I can use one of the ground hole s

Since I will not be connecting the generator to house power, I should be safe connecting house ground for my scope test. I want to see the shape of the power, the frequency and peak voltage. I think a

Is there a safe way to use my 465M to look at my generator output? The generator I recently acquired will have its own ground separate from my house. In use that won't be a problem as I will only be h

Sigh,don't actually need it Don't know the seller, about 1hr east of Sacramento, Ca , about 1/2 hour from me. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/ele/d/camino-tektronix-type-mhz-oscilloscope/7137085449.

It might be bought for a reasonable price except for shipping. Bob
