Using an old oscilloscope as a video vectorscope at DVinfo.net

Anyone know if this is possible, or even useful?

Someone just gave me an old Tektronix 2215 scope (circa 1982).

Guess I will need some kind of graticule overlay for the screen.

More of an experiment than anything else. Thought I'd ask before tossing the thing on eBay (or in the trash).

Cheers,

Paul.

It is not possible if you think about the vectorscope showing the color phase signal. it would require to add electronics.
you better had to find an old laptop and install DVrack (ADOBE Onlocation now).
