Those are cute little scopes... I keep a 3 inch Heathkit OL-1 as a nostalgia piece, such scopes would be fine for detecting the 15 kHz signal at the grid of the horizontal output tube. Does it work? Can you get a green line? Any response if you touch your finger to the vertical input? (like a 60 Hz sine wave) Those scopes are easy to operate, perhaps we can talk you through it?

I'd love you!

I actually have the RCA factory manual for it as well. Seems to work just fine, from a cursory plug in and adjustment.

So it would seem that you are at least to "first base" here, and can get a trace of reasonable brightness and focus positioned on the screen... let me ask "what controls are you unfamiliar with?"
Do you have the matching probe?

Basically, I'm not familiar with using it in any application nor do I know what I'm looking at when I see it. I have universal probes here, basically just wires with probe ends. Nothing else.
