The manual in neatherlands? I have that one, found by googling. I have found so far the /02 version manual that has a drawing of the component layout too. It seems to be almost the same. I think I linked it in some previous post

I was thinking about the voltages they are ranged - I'd like to buy news and I feel it kind a useless to buy some 630v caps just for the fact I don't know the original rates. It's of course the easies way and etc but it would be easier to know if some of the caps could be a lower voltage... The main problem is that I can't buy from Farnell and the finnish Farnell doesn't sell for private individuals and I have to go thrue other component seller. Well, now I have been checking and I SHOULD be able to get parts yes.

I have been lazy with this project lately as I have been busy by other work - school in this case. But now in summer I could have time for that little scope....

And yes: it is nice scope!

villelaustela: I live near Farnell UK's headquarters/trade counter. If you could put together a list of what you need from the Farnell UK catalogue, and send the money (plus postage) by PayPal, I'd be quite happy to go buy it all and send it by post to you.

Studio263: Sadly, when I bought the scope at the NVCF bring 'n' buy, it didn't have the instruction manual with it. I wonder what's happened to it

Anyone out there know?

ScopeMonkey: that would be just great!

I will post you later with the list - I already have it somewhere I think. The local shop that sells Farnell's products is not one of my favourites as they had quite a high postages to everything and in most cases they turn my orders back if something is not available immediately... But thanks to you ScopeMonkey - I will get back to you later with the list.
