So I bought this filthy BK Precision 15MHz Oscilloscope Model 1472C at a garage sale for $1. It didn't come with any probes.
I don't know how to use one, but for $1 I'll attempt to learn.
Anyway, I brought it home, and plugged it in and turned it on. The LED lit up so it's got some power at least. I messed with the switches but nothing on the display came up except I could get a little line on the screen from time to time. Also turning it off makes a line display on the screen, so I think the screen works.
Question 1: Is there anyway to test this thing without probes to at least see if it works enough to get probes for it?
Question 2: Doing a quick search for probes, I don't know what to get. I see some rated for 200mhz, but the oscilloscope is 15mhz, does that matter? What probes do I need?
It looks like this:
