Re: Foxy's Latest Project.
Do you remember Steptoe and Son? There was an episode where one of them threw the house keys into the scrapyard in a fit of pique.After a while they both realised they needed to find the keys again, so Albert had the bright idea of digging out a piece of kit to help with this.
You then see him with an old WW2 Mine Detector set, saying it would soon find the metal keys.
Harold then pointed out that the whole scrapyard was full of metal.
Ah, the classics.
We used a lot of O-Scopes at work. When I first started there were banks of twin-beam scopes to look at signals being recorded on 14 and 28 track magnetic tape tape. Later we went to more but smaller single beam scopes, and used anything up to two 42 track tapes in an artic-trailer.
Then it all went digital so scopes and frequency analysers appeared on banks of pooter monitors instead.
Do you have a signal generator to set your scope up?
We used Levell Decade Oscillators but later went to fancy multi-function signal generators that could produce just about any waveform you liked, and even sweep a frequency output from 0 to 20 kHz.
I'm assuming you've got a decent multimeter or two. I've still got my Fluke 73.
Do you need something that reads frequency as well?
... and there's me, a mechanical enginerd talking electronoids, or borax as it is otherwise known.
Truth be told, I wouldn't have a clue how to do what you are doing, or anything at all about electronics. Anything beyond Ohms law is a Black Art as far as I am concerned.
I'd take my hat off to you but my bonce would get cold then.
