Thank you both for your responses. I completely agree with you both. I was from the era where scopes were not used. I have since bought my own Hitachi scope. It's more complicated than required as its three trace but as you quite rightly say they have their own story to tell. I first started in domestic tv and found that having a screen (crt) it was a bit like a scope as it was very visual. I used scopes at college and they are great all round for analogue as well as logic 1 & 0's. The peak equipment is for conformation of diagnosis as (example) you can have a capacitor which measures ok but the ESR is way off. I'm not sure going round checking every component is the way forward, it's not really fault finding but more change everything to eliminate fault.
