You are in the Test Equipment section OM-2 5" General Purpose Oscilloscope

Push-pull horizontal and vertical amplifiers Modern etched circuit design for stability Built-in IV peak-to-peak calibration reference Full 5" cathode ray tube--Spot shape control Easy to build from complete instructions supplied If you are looking for an "exceptional buy" in an oscilloscope for general purpose applications, look at the features offered by the OM-2! This fine scope features wide vertical amplifier frequency response, extended sweep generator operation, and improved stability. The frequency response of the vertical amplifier has been extended to within 3 db from 4 cps to 1.2 mc, or 6 db, from 3 cps to 2 mc. Vertical sensitivity is .09 VRMS per inch at 1 kc. The improved sweep generator functions reliably from 20 cps to over 150 kc. Modern etched circuit boards are featured in critical parts of the oscilloscope circuit. They not only permit a level of high stability but also reduce assembly time considerably. Standard components are mounted on these boards with each position clearly marked preventing wiring errors. Both vertical and horizontal amplifiers are push-pull types. OM-2 Schematic Diagram This scope features a 5BP1 CRT, with provisions for external or internal sweep and sync, a built-in IV peak-to-peak reference voltage for calibration purposes, and a calibrated grid screen. The input to the vertical amplifier is through a three position step-attenuated, frequency compensated circuit, allowing control of signal levels applied to the amplifier. An adjustable astigmatism (spot shape) control is provided to insure a sharp trace. This scope is excellent for servicing, for use in the ham shack, or for routine laboratory work. It is especially valuable for students or hobbyists. Designed to provide maximum performance at a minimum price, the model OM-2 fulfills the need for a high-quality general purpose instrument.
