I have a very similar 'scope - a Conar 250. Sadly the power supply or one of the tubes blew out (no idea) and it hasn't functioned for a while. Managed to get this video before it died though:https://www.youtube.com/wat...

If I may be allowed a moment of Male Gaze, every time I scroll down I see that bazaar link and am reminded that our Editrix is a pretty lady. I shall henceforth refer to her as Becky With The Good Hair (with her permission).

I was tweaking the knobs as I recorded, mainly just to see what would happen (I'd only just managed to get the thing up and running at this point). It was running off a speaker cable direct from the stereo, through a simple voltage limiter. The limiter probably had no effect on the output whatsoever, but I wanted to make sure I didn't fry the thing right out of the gate.

I’m in SoBe. Drinky Thing next time you’re up this way! And hopefully I’ll have a new job by then to pay for said drinks.

One of my besties goes out there every year for their Shakespeare festival. Apparently there's a thriving gay culture, who knew?

Look forward to overcoming my usual misanthropy to get a bite out.

EDIT: okay, not actually a misanthrope...

Is it just me, or does the cowboy in that Boise postcard's "I" look like he's just zipping back up?
