Dave repairs several faults in a 500MHz HP54161B 2GS/s oscilloscope.
One in particular is quite elusive, can you figure it out before Dave does?

A teardown and quick look at the new lower cost mid-range 70-350MHz Phoenix chipset based Rigol MSO5000 mixed signal oscilloscope, to be release on the 13th Nov. Stating at US$909.
How does it compare to the 7000 series scope just released 5 months ago?

Not good enough for a numbered video.
40 minutes of Dave rambling about some bugs in the new Rigol MSO5000 scope in the Logic Analsyer, serial decoder, and possibly the Auto mode trigger system.
If you don’t like this style of rambling video, don’t watch.
NOTE: This is potentially a pre-production model and does not have the latest firmware.

How good is your existing oscilloscopes FFT function with the $10 DIY EMC H-field probe compared with a dedicated spectrum analyser?
Dave tries the DIY EMC probe with half a dozen different low cost scopes, so it turned into a bit of a practical FFT shootout:

Dave repairs a classic Tektronix 400MHz 2465B oscilloscope that’s been sitting on the mailbag shelf for years.
Arguably the greatest analog oscilloscope ever made.
BONUS magic smoke escape!
Although it was repaired to a functional level, this is kinda Part 1, as not all functions were exercised and tested, and not all parts were refurbished.
