 Since the oscilloscope and probe become part of the circuit being tested, it is also necessary to understand //and apply// the information on the [[equipment:oscilloscopeprobes|oscilloscope probes]] page. If in doubt (especially about safety), please ask before damaging scopes or people.

 ====Safety====
 Oscilloscopes can be used dangerously, especially when connecting to anything connected to the mains voltages. **Getting it wrong can result in __loud__ noises followed by __deathly__ slience**.     Obviously **electrocution** is a potential danger, but incorrect connections can also **melt** scope probes, cause **fires**, as well as **destroying** the **scope** or **unit** being tested. You may be surprised how mains earths can and do cause those problems. Internally scopes contain >**8kV**, and they can retain the charge long after the scope is switched off.

 === For Disposal ===
 Since they were either faulty or a pain to use, and we had better scopes with these features, in February 2019 we disposed of these scopes: Wavetek 9020, Gould OS300, Tek TDS340, Schlumberger 5602.C, Hameg HM203.
+To make more room and to reduce the equipment that needed to be moved to the new premises, in October 2020 we disposed of the Tektronix DM63 and the Topward 7042.
 If you want to see their features, look at an earlier revision of this page.
