My buddy just picked one up in a deal. I can't seem to find anything on it.
It is coming for me to check out and though a print would be nice, I don't
even need that. I don't know if the thing is 5 Mhz, 50 Mhz or what. There is
one on eBay (I think in the UK) for sale (for $359 !). From the picture it
doesn't look like much but you never know. The ad, or one of the google hits
indicate that it is solid state at least.

I nothing else it can become a component checker or something, or we can
unload it cheap to a student, who might be able to learn something from it a
bit easier than a new LCD job. Even an interested kid. I got my first scop
when I was about 13 I think. It seemed like a truck in size, it was a
Hickock coincidentally and with all that bulk it had a giant three inch
scren I think ! If I remember correctly the graticule was glued on, like
scotch tape with lines !

The technology was, well, defies words...

anyway, does anyone have any onfo on the CRO-5000a ? If it can be made to
work easily I could spec it out, but if there are any problems that require
a bunch of effort and/or money I would like to know if it is worth it. Evne
a 5 Mhz can be used for some audio work...

Hell, I don't even lnow if it is triggered !

Any info is appreciated.

Bama has a Hickok section but I do not see the 5000a listed. Maybe there
might be a close unit that is similar.
