Tested the loot of 2 days work.

Hello.

What kind of servicing do you do, broadcast radios?

[W3WN]

I made a quick piccie.

Don't mind the rest of the trash, i know i need to clean up my working room....
There was also a Konig meter and lots more DVM's etc, but not enough place to put it up for the picture.

Nice. Very nice.

I'd talk to you about one of the 'scopes, but I don't think the shipping costs would make it worthwhile.

Give me a link. I've seen lots of stuff for converting computer monitors and TVs to LCD screens but I've yet to find any info on anyone who's successfully converted an oscilloscope.

Hello.

Got hold of the person who did the conversion.
He said that except for the fact that an oscilloscope using electrostatic deflection and not an electromagnetic yoke there is little difference.
The hard part is the sync, as sync in a computer or TV is at a defined rate, and what the little board tries to address.
From there it is an analog RGBi signal on the DB15 connector.
There are several chips out that allow one to take vertical and horizontal signals and limit them to the range needed is what I am told.
In this case a board that was built to allow an LCD display to work in place of a CRT, more for built in applications or where one wanted to update a TV, was used.
This board is no longer sold, as there in not much point in converting an analog TV after the DTV switch.
Again, it is not the video, H&V that is the issue, it is sync, not all monitors will work at all trace rates of this service monitor.
The LCD display that I have in it now works perfect, and the Miracle combo analog TV/computer monitor also works at all sweep rates.
The service monitor scope is very limited in what it does so that may also be a factor.
Call a TV shop, explain what it is you are trying to do, they may have a solution.

It is sold as "portable" scope, but it is actually quite deep and hefty.
Shipping costs double boxed etc would be quite hefty...
We got 40/60 MHz scopes and this baby, which i adopted for myself, having a ball the next weeks to go over all functions, so if you don't see posts from me for a time, I'm lost in my working room.....:roll:
Dome camera's all work, colour, the I.R dome did as advertised 25 meters with i.r. LEDs on.
The LPM 5673 Laser tester needs just new batteries, the DVM's as well, the shop had been closed for 8 months...
Lots of stuff to sift through, crimp tools for RG58 and RG8 connectors, RJ45 crimp tools, coax cable cutters, screwdrivers, alignment tools in set form, rolls of RG 58, 75 Ohm coax, contact 60 spray, plastic spray ( boxes of them) boxes of energy saving lamps, led lamps, cisco routers, Siemens phones, tons of new parts, transistors, ic's condensators, standard and SMD Weller soldering stations, hot air soldering SMD stations,and the list goes on...
Some of it will go to the ham fair to support our repeaters and beacons we help maintain.
Lots of effort went into the co channelling/diversity project of repeaters, so the parts and other goodies will help paying for it.http://www.muntronde.nl/rzghvn/in.htm.

Nice. Very nice.

Sounds like a great haul, Cor. But:



What does a Dutchman, living in a more advanced country, know about such an archaic unit of measurement as the mile? Don't you mean kilometer?

Speaking of Dutchmen, on a recent rip to Holland I found my roots, Gunter Kinte, he had his finger in a dyke. I may just write a book about this.....
