Awww.  Whats the fun it that, especially for a scope that sells used for
under $500.00.  Your scope is a lot more robust than you
might think.  I recently purchased a Tektronix 3054B portable 4-channel
scope for $10,000 and I run this all the time with my high voltage
probes right next to my tesla coil!!!
