As some of you know, I'm helping with an
exhibition of classic
machines in the Department of Computer Science -- for Open Day
tomorrow(Friday), and running conducted tours on Wednesday as
well.
That's unusual, standard procedure is that a machine dies at
the opening day at the first real presentation - no matter
how often you testet before.
I've found a fairly effective way to prevent this is to have a good
toolkit and a pile of test gear at the demonstration too, and let the
machine know you intend to use it if necessary :-)
At work this past week I was given a nice small Telequipment 'scope that
is perfect for that sort of mobile use. It's an S54A and seems nice and
bright and works great. Single trace, which is probably why I got it
for free. It's my first Telequipment 'scope, though some of my Tek
scopes are British made so probably essentially 'Telequiment' scopes as
well. It's not a painful 'luggable' like my Tek 465M.
