I think the 10x probe is defective (it is 57 years old). I found it difficult to not only get the signal with it, but to keep it. Tapping it caused glitches. I looked over the schematics and it's pretty simple, but I don't like how the tip is designed. It's just a screw-in tip and the wire to it just hangs out the end of the probe and then the tip is attached. The wire just sit loosely in the tip, not soldered or attached in any way.

I've ordered a new probe and the BNC to banana plug converter. It should be here on Wed and I'll be able to get more done.
