I have an older (sun??) ignition scope sitting in my garage - it runs on
12VDC 
which mostly powers some tube filaments - it gets all the HV from the
ignition 
coil - it connects to the coil secondary as well as the battery.  It
would 
seem that this might be a useful way to look at tesla waveforms - what
do you 
guys think.  I suppose once I could even go out to the garage again and
look 
at it to refresh my memory about how it actually hooks up - I bought it
on a 
whim for $2 at a car swap meet (it didn't work), and had to replace the
HV 
rectifier tube to make it work - I used it once as an ignition scope to
see 
how they worked and haven't looked at it in several years.
