Hey everybody, My dad knows a guy at work that has several Oscilloscopes he is getting rid of (throwing in the trash!), and I told him that I would take them off his hands for him. Are these of any use anymore in Car Audio? I would think so. I'm considering putting together a test bench and starting to work with Home Audio too... Would this come in use? Thanks in advance, --mindctrl

an oscilloscope is the best voltmeter you can hope to get - since it will show you just exactly what the voltage is in real time for any given input (depending on frequency of input and of scope anyhow). great not only for checking audio quality, but also for tracing down noise problems, balancing input levels, getting precise voltage levels, checking electronic ignition module triggers, etc etc etc. the higher the MHZ the scope is rated for, the better it generally is - and storage scopes are even better.

Very good equipment if you fry something, if you have basic knowledge of electronics and how it work(The components that is) you could fix just about anything with an oscilloscope, even home audio with AC current. You can test transistors, zener diodes, transformers and so on, just like superchuckles said, you can trace down noise problems because the voltage on the screen will be a very dirty signal.
