If it's a dual binding-post/banana-jack on 3/4" centers, adapters are

Even if these adapters don't happen to have the right spacing for your

cut off the end unless he has a bnc connector laying around he can just
pigtail a couple of wires to.

Pigtails aren't as good. The benefit of a probe and coax cable/BNC connector is
that one often works on hazardous voltages, and the probe is a safe handle to grab
onto, even if the probe tip is on the 360V node...
The best BNC-to-banana adapters for an oscilloscope, are the ones with a grounded
shroud so the live wire isn't touchable. These used to be common, but now, not so much.

Some oscilloscopes had a UHF connector and ground binding post, that are compatible
with banana plugs; for those, a UHF-to-BNC adapter is the best way to proceed
