Powers up. I get a signal. It is too complicated for me, (I have a
heathkit).

I understand that you may find it overwhelming, just because the Heath
may be so simple, but the 564B is a really nice scope. It's only
downfall is that it's only good to 10 MHz (and the 3A72 is only good
to less than that.)

With a better plugin, like the 3A1 or the 3A6 this is a really
versatile scope as long as you don't need higher bandwidth (and most
people don't.) Your 3B3 is a good time base.

The nicest thing about the 564B is the fact that you can get lots of
different plugins for it that do lots of interesting things, from 4
channels plugins to spectrum analyzers.

I'd encourage you to sell the Heath, but I'm biased. There's a 564B
sitting just to the right of my PC. ;-)
