[NJARC] Repair Clinic?

John, et al

The Lab Volt oscilloscope is indeed made by Leader Electronics... It is a Lab Volt 798 Oscilloscope 100Mhz... All sorts of bells & whistles- 1 output, 3 or 4 inputs, variable this that and the other thing... I REALLY need a manual for it! I bought it from one of our members at last November's Parsippany meet, but he'd forgotten to bring the manual with him, and promised to get it to me.... We haven't crossed paths at a meting yet, and I keep hoping, but i have forgotten exactly who it was!(If it jars any memories, I did get him doen on price at the time. He was on the right side of the center aisle, near the stage)

Ray-
As to the BC-348 Set Tester setup, I will have to remember it for the next show and tell: It took me some time, but I managed to get a complete unit, most of which is in operable shape! Just have to get one of the units up to speed...
