Kikusui oscilloscope
coromonadalix:
and the upgrade you can apply to this scope, is really giving it more value than you paid ....
BrokenYugo:
A scope CRT is a fairly delicate precision device, even if the vacuum is not broken a hard drop/hit can damage internal structures and ruin it, bad CRT effectively scraps most analog scopes.
Wallace Gasiewicz:
I would not buy this if I could not see it working.
You could fix the graticule.
But anything else is almost impossible to service on Japanese Scopes, although they are very good machines, there is no chance to get any Service Manuals on any Japanese Scope that I am aware of.The Scope Tube is a traditional tube, not just a Monitor like we see on some old digital scopes. If it is damaged, scope is not worth anything.Looking at the pictures, it reminds me of my HP 1980 (Introduced in 1985) Scope, a kinda cross between an Analog and Digital, with very unusual parts that cannot be found.
By the way the Sigilent recommended is in Luxembourg. but it does sound like a decent deal.
Gyro:
Any half decent seller will at least power a scope up and show a picture of what happens - "untested" is not a good sign with that sort of visible damage. At least if it was showing something on the screen you would have some indication that, 1: the CRT vacuum is still intact and 2: that the deflection plates are possibly not distorted (although that would require both X and Y deflection being visible).
Without that, again I would still say walk away. Paying $100 for some sort of functional scope in your country might or might not be good value. Paying $98 for something terminally broken definitely isn't.
TomKatt:
Scope crt tubes are precision components and shock can put them out of alignment even though they still work and show a trace. A cracked case or graticle can be flags that the scope has been dropped, which can damage the internal electron gun assembly.
