Dear Group,

I have just purchased an Hitachi V-1100A Oscilloscope and Tektronix modular
power supply / freq gen ... etc

There are picture at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/s.goldsmith/

Scope = http://homepage.ntlworld.com/s.goldsmith/9f_1_b.jpg

Question Does anyone know what the grey boxed type probe at the front /
bottom right of the above picture is or does?

TIA
Steve

It would help if it were not glommed together with cables, probe tips, etc.

I'll take a wild stab and guess that it's the scope end of an old 10x probe.

That looks an awful lot like the O-scope end of a Tektronix probe,
probably a 10X. The box part probably contains a compensation network
and adjusting trimmer.

It should work with your Hitachi, but be sure to set the probe's
compensation trimmer according to the scope's manual.

FWIW: I've never been keen on anyone but Tektronix for O-scopes.
Had I been shopping around, I would have made my bench 'all blue' as it
were.

Happy tweaking.

Grrrr!. So that's where it went to. :)

Had wound myself up to buy that scope. Hoped the "faulty" tag may have
deterred 'casual' bidders. Steeled myself to bid upto a massive £75! but
found I was totally outclassed as the £150+ bids came in in the last few
seconds.
Never mind. Maybe another will turn up.
