Default Re: Improvising with Household Items.

My first oscilloscope had a 5BP1 CRT. A large hole in the front panel had an equally large red plastic plant pot inserted into it, sitting on the outer step near the 'top' of the plant pot. the base was cut-out and the conical inside was lined with draught-excluder foam. The CRT slid in and was pulled back into the foam from its base clamp.

Bill-and-Ben technology!
