[sdiy] oscilloscope question

[Oren Leavitt]

My first o-scope was a 1950s HP rackmount tube type that used binding 
posts for the two channel inputs and the trigger input. Each channel was 
a differential input, each with three binding posts, one for (+), (-) 
and ground. The (-) and ground were connected together with a metal 
strap so that the input could be used as a standard input.

Nice scope you got there, Pat - those old Tektronix scopes are good.
Looks like you got a dual time base, too!
