Heathkit tube oscilloscope 10-10
10/15/2010 11:15:11 AMJON C.
I need info on the Heathkit / daystrom oscilloscope 10-10 It is extemely hard to find the operation manual. I get a horizontal line but no vertical deflection of the beam. I am a beginer on oscilloscopes and am not sure how to trigger this also.

:Hi! I've got a copy of an assembly manual for an IO-10. Next time you post fill in the E-Mail box and I'll email it to you.

Thanks for the offer of an IO - 10 thats eye oh ten
My oscilloscope is an older ten - ten all tube model

Sir Jon. . . . .


Methinks that the model number in question is the EYE-OH-10, probably, just the way that their selected font was making that unit read out as.


Thank goodness that it was not 20-30 yrs later vintage and running up against a dot matrix printer.


It was a 3 inch unit from the sixties and if you will check its tube line up, you should find it using :


6X4


1V2


OA2


OC2


(3) 6BS8's


(2)12BH7's


(2)12AU7's


And the unit is using a 3RP1 . . Three inch kine


As per your comment on "triggering", that units design is a recurrent , free running hoz oscillator and is dependent upon setting that frequency close enough to the incoming waveforms frequency . . . or a multiple or submultiple of it.


Then if a STRONG enough of an external sync input is introduced, it sort of "coaxes" the hoz sweep into coincidence with it.


A triggered sweep unit . . . this unit is NOT . . . so one won't be setting up triggering in order to see a .2us risetime on a waveform . . nor its like fall time.


If this is your unit I can fill you in on the rudimentary basics of the units operation, if you can merely supply the front controls labeled markings.

Finally, the IO-10 unit should look'a lik a' this:

:OK Everybody is right there is no ten ten but IO - 10. So I am planning on inputting a 6.3 volt signal off a line transformer, then all I have to do is input a strong 60 hz signal into the ext sync. Right? How strong is strong its in volts right? Can I just input the 6.3 v transformer signal into both?

This website lists a model 10-10.

Yes this is the website made me think there was a 10-10 I found out it is IO-10 eye oh ten./
Now I hooked up,my oscilloscope and get a dot or horizontal line but cannot get any vertical deflection whatsoever. 1st I am going to check the vertical tubes on my tube tester.

It is 10-10, not IO-10. The IO-XX nomenclature was used for the more modern units. The real question is if the schematic is the correct one.

: Hi!
I checked that schematic and it is the same as for the IO-10. So someone just got confused on the model number.
