I picked this up at a ham fest , it would seem to be a curve tracer / octopus built for an old Echo 460 scope , it has bana plugs for scope connections .
I plugged into 120 AC , then measured both sides of the transformer , AC wall outlet goes through a coil wound resistor and steps down the voltage to 60v then goes into transformer , coming out measured 18v .
Its labeled as a transistor tester [ home-brewed ] .
Some of my questions are , as I have checked on internet lately , most seem to be for modern testing lower voltages , maybe down to 6v , assuming there is an issue with more modern components running lower voltages ?
Then the bana plugs , changing to shielded BNC ?
Also most of the info I gathered on internet showed that units like this would give pattern for testing caps also ?
Thanks
