    ok, i need some input here.
    i changed out the .05 400v caps for metal poly .047 630v its just about.05, but do'es anyone think i may have issues?

    also im looking to get an oscilloscope,
    im looking at a kenwood 4025(20hz 2 channel) but maybe i should get one with like 100hz.
    no? yes?
    i learn fast, so i dont want to buy a starter unit only to buy a better one anyway.ya know

    0.047µF is 0.05µF unless you are building an xray source for near-zero nanometer semiconductor lithography.

    A 50 MHz Chinese LCD scope (Owon, Siglent, Tektronix, Agilent, etc.) is great for audio frequencies. $300-500 on Amazon. An old 20MHz 2-channel scope won't process/store data or perform waveform math.

    On the other hand... if you believe that only Fluke knows how to count electrons and that Harbor Freight tools will ruin your '63 split window... buy an HP scope or LeCroy WaveSurfer either will do nicely and make your bench look very impressive. That's why I bought my LeCroy  Wink

    ok, well. thanks j beede, ill keep my eye out for a 50mhz 2 channel jobber.
    and a decent set of p6006 probes.
    i did find a kenwood cs5130 (40mhz) i was looking at.
    a hitachi V665 60MHZ 2 CHANNEL
    also a Tektronix TDS350 2 Channel 200MHz, 1GSa/s
    and then THIS!

    on the cap, i figured it should be close enough, but for all i knew some of you guys had "things" show up going down instead of up in a value. i only chose those because they were the closest value on dynacoparts.com when i ordered some other stuff.
    again thanks for the advice. by the way. i have jdr-dmm300 for a multimeter, its served its purpose for a good long time,but its been acting up. so im getting a fluke-179, lots of good useable features.

    I grabbed a Rigol DS1054Z Digital Oscilloscopes - Bandwidth: 50 Mhz, Channels: 4 on recommendation of the EEVblog Youtube Channel. Amazon had a great price, there is a firmware patch (hack) that you can use to make it a 1ooMhz. If you go down that road.....

    I own a very fine dual-trace 100 mHz Tek scope with all the bells and whistles, and it is even (relatively) easy to use.

    In the 20 years I have owned it, I have *needed* to use it, perhaps, five (5) times. Those times to trace a failed chip in a solid-state device. Never for tube equipment.

    I expect that when I retire and consider getting into aligning solid-state FM tuners, I will have much more use for one. But until then, not so much.

    And, it takes up a LOT of real-estate on the bench.

    they do take up a fair amount of space dont they.
    i put it on the back burner for now,and i got a decent fluke 179 voltmeter(w/case and 4 attachments) for $145.50

    Hence my prior recommendation for a Chinese LCD 50 MHz scope. My LeCroy takes up little more space than a Johnny Quest lunch box. It has bells, whistles, blinking blue lights... it sings, dances, and tells jokes too. It weighs about 6 lbs.

    I use it regularly. Its waveform math functions have been entertaining and indispensable for debugging.
