Good work grumpydoc, how long has this scope tormented you.....a couple of years at least IIRC.
Thankfully it hasn't all been the same 'scope!
I started with a PM3382, quickly decided that I like them as oscilloscopes but wanted a 3394B - which I sort of gradually acquired in bits of mostly non-working ones.
I have 5 working out of 7 purchases which isn't that bad
I really need to sell the spare ones on eBay though.
In fact this repair isn't one of mine - I offered to help another forum member out after he bought one on eBay which the vendor was convinced had a "small PSU fault". With these things it is *much* easier if you have some working exemplars from which to take notes and measurements.
Will it go down the road now you have that 1 GHz LeCroy ?
Probably not - I usually turn the Phillips on first and most of the time it is all I need. The fans on the LeCroy are a bit loud for my taste but it will be useful when I need something with deep sample memories, high bandwidth and/or the more versatile triggering options. It should be easier to do screen shots on the new 'scope as well so I think the WavePro will see more use than the 9354 did.
What I will definitely now sell is my "spare" 9354 (I bought two for £125 a few years ago) and I really ought to get at least some of the spare PM33xx's calibrated and on eBay.
Good news and thanks for reporting back!
It look likes you use a camera with a 1.8 (ish) lens?
I have a couple of lenses - A Tamron 10-24mm and a Canon 18-200mm, I'd quite like something as fast as a f1.8 as neither of the two are better than f3.5 and the workshop
1 does not have much natural daylight so I usually tend to be using ISO1600-3200 and trying to hand hold 1/20th of a second. Image stabilisation helps a lot of course but I get quite a few shots which look like the trace on the LeCroy above.
The shots of the PCB were done with the 18-200 through a x3 macro lens, hence the shallow depth of field.
EDIT:
[1] Well, I say "workshop". In reality it is a bench along one wall of the garage amidst ever higher piles of stuff which I need to either fix or admit I can't and get rid of. As someone said in another thread "hoarding is part of the hobby"
