Hi guys, just picked this up for cheap and need some help finding the manual. It's a Dumont R1051, the company seems to no longer exist. Primarily need to know what prob to purchase since it did not come with one. This is my first time using an oscilloscope so bare with me.

Thanks

 

Hello,

It will be hard to find a manual for it.
Here is a PDF on how to use an oscilloscope from tektronics:

On this page from the EDUCYPEDIA you will even find more info:

Oscilloscope probes are not proprietary. 1x probes are fine for audio frequencies, but you would want a 10x probe for RF or logic.

 

http://www.manualsplus.com/catalog/mp_find.php Type "Dumont" in the search box. There is a 1050 at the top. Probably pretty close. The "R" was likely to designate "rack mount". My guess is that the left/right modules were also sold in a top/bottom version. If you are thinking of buying it, contact them first with your photos.

Ok ordered a 1x/10x probe. And will check that manual out.

thanks guys
