Yeah, cassette size is a good description.  I'm a geezer so I use mine
with an 8x OptiVisor but younger eyes should do just fine as-is.

Forgot to add.  The scope is usable as-is.  You simply have to look at
the display at about a 45 deg angle off to the left.  One of the guys
on the Seeed forum pointed to an inexpensive replacement LCD.  Since
it's Open Source, it should be easy to fix.

You could probably take a board from the parts ubit and et that function working. And then you have to learn how to use it. I wouldn't bother in the beginning. As a scope it already works.

I still have my Tema, bought it new back in the 80's.
I see there are a few on ebay that command a fairly high price. WHat
is nice about it was the component Bannana input, makes checking
zeners easy.

Just be careful, some of the CRT's don't have the brightness they once
had.

Good thing is the manuals always had the schematics in them.

>Hi I have just started in electronics and have started to think about getting an oscilloscope. I don't have enough money for the $400 digital oscilloscopes. My family does not have a lot of money and the ones on ebay are still too much expensive. I'm just wondering if anyone has an old analog oscilloscope that I could have. Thanks :)

Instead of begging, I suggest you do some odd jobs around your
neighborhood, save up about $100 and buy a Mini-DSO scope.  I see
single channel versions on sleazebay for around $70 and 4 channel ones
for around $150.

This is an open source design done by Seeed Studios and released to
the public.  Several chicom manufacturers have picked up on the design
and are making clones but I stick with the nice metal-cased Seeed
original.

I keep several around the lab.  The 4 channels are sometimes
invaluable and if I smoke one, no tears shed.

In fact, I have 4 channel one right now that has a low contrast screen
problem that I'll give you if you want to hack it and see what's
wrong.  get my email address from my website.  No scope probes
included - you'll have to buy those yourself (~$20) but then what do
you expect for free?
