[sdiy] Oscilloscopes on eBay

[Eric Greenwood]

Speaking of which, I have recently aquired an old HP 141A.  There are 
several BNC connectors, but they aren't labels as the inputs.  The 
inputs are these larger port with two concentric circles, each formed by 
four curved sections.  Is there some kind of adaptor I can get to use 
modern BNC probes on this beast?

Also, the power connector is of the type with an oval shaped plug and 
three circular prongs, as opposed to the 6 sided kind with square prongs 
you usually see today.  What is this called, so I can track down a power 
cable and see if this machine still works?

Thanks!

-Eric
