@squirrel that's a very fair point, I'd be using it for "hey, is that a signally thing coming out of there? OOOH WAVY LINES! IT'S A SIGNAL!" because quite frankly I don't understand electronics any deeper than that
And oh, a grand for a good one... yeah, I'll add that to the list of reasons I don't have one
@squirrel ah, shame
probably be better than nothing though and sod paying hundreds of pounds for a fancy one I'm going to use for 20 minutes once in a blue moon
@squirrel I'd say give it a try anyway, if it works with the new caps then you've saved a lot of effort, if it doesn't then you're out a few caps at most
@squirrel speaking of oscilloscopes, I've seen these around https://www.banggood.com/DSO138-DIY-Digital-Oscilloscope-Kit-SMD-Soldered-13803K-Version-With-Transparent-Acrylic-Housing-p-1051616.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN
No idea if they're any good but might be worth a punt if you're ever in massive need of an oscilloscope
@squirrel I'd give it a shot if you've got the capacitors easily available
@squirrel MAPLE THIS IS MAIN!

...damn, out of 555s, would some chopped 556s be okay?
would the squobit version of nachos be a load 555s covered in cheese and jalapenos?
