RE: Oscilloscope Goldstar os-9020A

bluelobster made some excellent points.

Similar to a DVM or multimeter: it is not a matter of whether an oscilloscope is ok to use or not. It's more of a question of whether there's a need (on your behalf) or not.

If you do not understand the basics of electronics to begin with, it would be hard for you to grasp the concept of DVM/multimeter, letting alone how to use/what to do with oscilloscope.

Similar to a tube tester: an oscilloscope is an indispensible tool if you know how to use it/and you understand what you are looking for. It is not so much of a tool (more like a burden) of you don't understand the basics of it and take on a "me too" bandwagon.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade but to get you to understand what you are trying to do here. Too many times I see people getting things that they have absolutely no understanding of (e.g. tube testers for noob tube amp fans with no electronic/tube operation background), and that equipment ended up to waste.

For more info, plse spend some time google for subjects like "how to use an oscilloscope" or on a broader sense: "how to operate testing instrument" or similar.

*enuf ranting, back to work*
