Re: O-Scope for tesla coil use

would this differential amplifier be a plugin card, or an external box?

The scope is grounded for operator safety reasons. Don't attempt to float or use an isolation transformer with the scope. If you need to measure between two points within a DUT and neither is referenced to ground then you will need a differential amplifier in order to use your ground referenced scope. For that aged scope you can probably find a cheap differential amplifier on ebay or surplus.

Someone mentioned that I should remember the scope is grounded, I assume that it would be, as most things in metal boxes are, but how does this apply to it's use? (sorry if this is a dumb question)
