Well, if you want the original 'Dec Fieldservice Oscilloscope', you
need to get the Tektronix 645B. They are widely available 2nd hand,
look at your favourite auction website for one. Proces vary between
$100 and $200.
No idea though where to find a website teaching scope usage, but maybe
Tony Duell know a few????

I'm rapidly approaching the point where I will
need to learn how to use an oscilloscope as part
of my quest to learn more about debugging the
old DEC hardware. What kind of advice can folks
offer to me about a decent scope and some info on
how to use one? I think I used one 30 years ago
in school, but it's been so long that I remember
little-to-nothing about it.
One of my first exercises might be to attempt
a head alignment on an RK05 drive using an
alignment pack. I have all the documentation
for the drive maintenance, etc.
What kind of scope would I need and how much does
one cost? Are there any good web sites that
would give some basic info on "scopes for dummies"
or "scopes for beginners"?
Thanks in advance for your advice. This is
a never-ending learning experience.
