Probes

[Malcolm Leonard]

Modern,solid state scopes use BNC connectors.Every electronics parts catalog 
shows photos of these BNC connectors,so identifying them is easy.Tube based 
scopes like your Heath model used female banana jacks on the front panel and 
male banana plugs on the probe cable.
Some prefer to change those female banana jacks to a BNC while others 
prefer to keep everything original.
I am puzzled about your 11 incorrect purchases as any electronics 
distributor would,of course,answer your questions prior to an actual 
purchase,so how you manatged to accumulate so many non-fitting units
is a bit beyond my own ability to figure out.

I received your address from a Heath owner who says maybe you can answer a 
question for me: I have a 1950 HeathKit Oscilloscope Model 0-5, no matter 
what type of male end probes I get they just don't seem to fit. I have 
purchased 11 different ones and all seem to big to put into the plug-ins. 
Any ideas,  or will I have to figure out which female end I need and change 
the plug-ins on my machine. THANK YOU,
Phil
