Useful information about some oscilloscopes that I have used.


There are many very good old oscilloscopes still in use.
Some can be bought for little money on the used-equipment market.


A good example are Kenwood scopes.
The CS-5130 and CS-5230 are amazing value for money, and I will describe my experience with those scopes on this page when I get some more time.

About the CS-5130:
This is the Kenwood CS-5130 in action:

You can download the User Manual in pdf format from here: CS-5130 user manual




The User Manual is easy to find on the internet, but the service manual doesn't seem to exist in good pdf format, but fortunately the CS-5130 has some common things with other Kenwood scopes so it is possible to combine that information in order to get useful service documents.
