Maybe some not too common elements are used?
By the way, about the oscilloscope, it’s actually not that necessary, i.e. needed more often
just to see if there is a frequency or not. In this
sense, it might be worth a simple logic probe (2 LEDs and one
561ЛH2) take readings at key points and enter them into a plate
"signal-readings". I had such a sign for the first Leningrad, very
Convenient when you don’t have an oscill handy.
The readings, as far as I remember, were coded like this: H - high level, L -
low, HL (“H” lights up brighter than “L”) - frequency, where the pulse duration is “H”
higher than the duration "L", LH ("L" burns brighter than "H") - frequency, but low
level prevails over high, BLINK - frequency below 25Hz, i.e. noticeable
flicker of the eye.
