Hello everyone, i pick up a old cheap oscillascope to put my MOTM through, http://www.teklab.com/~weld/pix/eicoosc.jpg it has no probes, so i was wondering how you all would connect to the motm? I would just like to see the final waveform on the scope. Thx Jim thomas white wrote: > Hello all, > > I recently bought a little $20 Korg chromatic tuner to calibrate/tune my 300 > VCO's with.
