One advantage of the Tektronix CRT scopes is that the older models on roll-around carts double as a space heater.........

They have refurbished models in the $2,100 range and used ones in the several-hundred dollar range. These all run the hundred MHz range which is way faster than you will ever need.

Obviously the more channels the unit has, the better (although cost goes up considerably with each channel added). My question is, what minimum frequency should the unit be capable of measuring in order to evaluate say, a fuel injector or ignition coil circuit at near max RPM? 10,000Hz? 100,000Hz?

It?s the kind of situation of not if but when. Babied cars can last a while, but any that have had some use will inevitably have some accumulated weakness. What modern car needs their electrical control/nerve center replaced? Even my POS GM truck still has the same relays and fuses from 1990 and that truck was abused throughout it?s life (former workplace parts hauler and on-site service vehicle). > > > > Same goes for the 328 LED climate control buttons which were cool and high tech in the ?80s, but you?re pretty much SOL if they fail today. > > > > cLyDe?s beloved 512 TR have an underserved cooling system which he documented upgrading to modern aftermarket rads. Again, I?ve never known a production-line car needing a radiator upgrade with a stock set-up, unless there?s been some egregious lack of maintenance (and cLyDe?s car would definitely be well maintained as it?s lasted this long under his care with the amount of mileage accumulated. And still...) or, has had some big performance upgrade. Oooohh, let?s throw in transaxles that self-destruct because Ferrari cheap'd out by using welded, case-hardened diff?s instead of forging them in one piece like every other manufacturer out there (that?s if the input shaft doesn?t shear off before the diff explodes. All well known design and manufacturing faults). > > > > A lot of praise is heaped on the F1 transmission, but as much as the final, single clutch variant is probably the most ?reliable? out of the bunch, what does one do when the bespoke hydraulic components crap out? It?s well documented how the first gen systems were terrible and parts are NLA. There?s a genuine reason why the market favors manual cars. cLyDe is adamant that they?re too weak for these V-12s, but at least if you burn out the clutch on those, you CAN limp it home (and nurse as much as you can with clutchless shifts which are totally doable with a syncro box). When the F1 fails, then what? Dial AAA and open yer wallet. > > > > As for the ?60s? With the quality control issues of a fascist workforce, you take a roll of the dice with that one. The only reason why they?re still around today is they look pretty and were never cheap/disposable. Although on that note, one of the old timers in the club here (Alfa guy) had mentioned when I questioned why so few cars survived, he said ?we just drove them?. He drove his Alfa Giulietta Zagato even in the winter because it was his daily driver! When the cars rusted out badly, they parted them out and scrapped the rest. They weren?t made to last and nobody expected they?d be worth so much in the future. They bought them because they looked beautiful, were different than anything else on the road and were fun to drive. BUT, you always had to work on them, like any car of that era. Nothing was ?reliable?. There were only cars that didn?t break down as much as others. > > > > Peter > > > > Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986>; for > > Windows 10 > > > > > > From: Erik Nielsen<mailto:judge4re [at] gmail.com> > > Sent: June 4, 2021 3:09 PM > > To: PeterGT4<mailto:dino308gt4 [at] hotmail.com> > > Cc: The FerrariList<mailto:ferrari [at] ferrarilist.com> > > Subject: Re: [Ferrari] Watch this guy swallow hard ?? > > > > You?re going to need time to hear the entire list. > > > > It may be easier to say which ones could be considered refined and reliable by the time they made it into the customer?s hands. > > > > 275 GTS > > 330 GTC > > 328 GTB/GTS > > 512TR > > 575M with F1 > > > > The rest of them have flaws, some of them major. > > > > Ferrari has claimed they make cars similar to mistresses.

If space and power are not an issue, I'd look for an older Tektronix CRT scope.? I still use a 30yo 4 channel 300Mhz scope that drifts less than .01% every time I get it re-calibrated.? You can pick one up used for $300.? You should be able to get it calibrated for about $100 and for a home gamer be good for 5 years. If you want something newer and more compact, do the research and there are some older Rigol scopes that can be hacked to permanently upgrade their function specs.? Rigol was making full featured scopes and using the same hardware but sold as lesser machines that were software crippled.?? Someone figured out the hack to permanently make them the best model.? I had one for a couple of years but sold it and don't remember the particulars. Automotive: If you are looking for something geared toward automotive use (drop resistant, grease/oil resistant) and even battery powered, Hantek makes some good little hand held models.? But I find their screens hard to read with old eyes. MicSig makes a good ruggedized tablet style O-scope for automotive use that has lots of probe choices to make automotive use very simple.?? If you get a touch screen type scope, just be sure to get a good screen protector that you can wipe clean from your greasy fingerprints.? Autel makes a hot little 4 channel scope for the automotive world too.? But, it works with their Maxsys (sp?) scanner head.?? So you are looking at a bigger investment than the self contained MicSig. Sadly, all this stuff (other than Tektronix) is made in China As far as speed, anything 100Mhz should be fine for any car work. Rick PS: I'm a Fluke fan, through and through.? I must have 15 different Fluke multi-meters, clamp meters, network scanner/injectors... probably $25K worth.? Love them, lived by them. ? I've never been impressed by their "automotive" meters or their scopes. ? Just not in their wheelhouse.? The only person I know who still owns a Fluke 88 runs Cosworth... and I've fixed his, twice now.? 99% of the time, he's like me...? grab the old Fluke 77.? It's a warhorse!?? What does he think of the Fluke 88?? he loaned it to Keegan for a few months....? might as well been a sewing machine.
