Just got home from son's soccer game.
I will get some photos and a good description of the scope posted tomorrow evening.
As for what I will be looking at? Anything I can get my hands on that isn't too sophisticated and can help with the learning curve. I've been saving all kinds of stuff from the scrap metal/recycle bins at work. For example, I brought home an old yet in great condition SCR Variable Speed Drive (old and rare enough not even Google can find it) which I plan on using as a DC power supply and a Variac which I will use as an AC power supply when building circuits on a Protoboard. My only background in electronics was the classes I took in Electrical Apprentice school. BTW the scopes we used in the school lab were powered by an isolated power supply (just confirmed that the other day). That fact is why I've been asking about the proper way to set-up my scope since it's contrary to what you and most everyone else I talk to is telling me.
