The configuration I mentioned above produces a blank screen, nothing. I also do believe that for a TV, the oscilloscope should be horizontal due to there being more hertz and the waves would be more visible as a traditional oscilloscope would display them (I'm not too sure on this, just something I read somewhere). Also, I do not have a multimeter lying around so at the moment I am unable to measure the resistance of the coils. And no the H and V coils did not have noticeably different turns / lengths / thicknesses. Here are a couple pictures: http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t54/rediculus08/DSC00013.jpg http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t54/rediculus08/DSC00012.jpg So maybe I should also try leaving the vertical sync intact while driving the horizontal sync with an audio signal? When you tried the traditional-looking horizontal oscilloscope, did you notice any visuals before it started smoking?
