This little o-scope is built entirely using valves (tubes), built by [Ian Wilson] and [Hans Summers]. [Hans]‘ site covers everything from monitor gutting to a Z80 viscometer, it’s worth taking some time to poke around. Thanks to [Elliot] for sending in this one on the tips line.
I guess the aim of this project wasn’t to create the smallest oscilloscope… but rather to create one of the coolest/best looking ones :)
An FPGA combined with an ADC, hooked up to an PC/display device would probably be the smalles oscilloscope

fantastic!
My brother had a very tiny field scope for years, but this one has a bit more style if you ask me.

The point isn’t just its size. If I understand this correctly by using tubes he’s made a very small TOTALLY ANALOG o-scope. If what you’re looking at is analog in origin, this can give you a ‘better’ result.
