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.

ive got an parallax oscope hooked up to a pda (dell axim x5 with fedore 6 ppc)and an attiny to convert the usb back to serial and in a lil box thats smaller than this
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.
hey cool, you got my submission. but if you don’t mind, my name has 2 “t”s in it.
100% bitchin’
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.
Nice Job!!!
Next stop, diy crt scope clock!

series of tubes
I got the small tube to make my scope this project is a tubeway project as it uses tubes we are glass I dream of wires no pcb like the old days tubeway days now seem so unreal watch the ht voltage unless you want to be an electric friend
I built my one inch scope it works great tubeway days are back long live vacuum tubes
