nice dual trace scope, really easy to use, could come in handy looking at VFD outputs, logic, etc.



here's the link if you are interested

For VFD outputs, you probably need a couple of 10X probes. It looks like you would get 80 V P-P (peak to peak), and with a 240 VAC waveform, that would need 678 V P-P. 10 V/Div with 8 vertical divisions makes for 80 V, but add a 10X probe on each channel and you get 800 V.

And unlike tube based scopes, these would not take kindly to serious overvoltage.

Enjoy, DoN.
