Difference between Oscilloscope Hitachi V-1050 and V-1050F

[stojke]

Hi, online I see videos and documents about Hitachi V-1050F but I can not find the differences between it and V-1050 (Without F).
Does anybody know the exact differences?

You are right, there is not much info.  I was ONLY able to find this....

"I do have a operator manual and a service manual for the v-1050 version. The v-1050f seems to have a few minor differences.
One difference is the board at the base of the crt of the v-1050f is different than the v-1050."

Here is a link for V-1050 operating manual, no mention of Model F (Note: even though title says V-1050F):

Here is Service manual for V-1050

Looks like Model V-1050 was introduced before V-1050F, therefore V-1050 manuals do not mention "F" model.  If you can find V-1050F manuals, your 'might' get to the know all the differences either mentioned in the F model manual or by manual comparison of manuals since I have provided you the links for V-1050 model.

Good Luck.

Thank you for the plentiful information, much appreciated. If I may ask, can V-1050 display CD eye pattern and circle pattern with dual channel measurements? I saw a youtube video that V-1050F can, this is the reason why I ask, I would like to purchase one that is available as the Siemens (Gould 4094) one I have can not do these as it is a digital oscilloscope.

I'm making some assumptions, but if you want to see audio-frequency patterns in X-Y mode, any analog oscilloscope (with X-Y mode) can do that.  It is not a demanding task in the analog world. Digital scopes have trouble because they are not real-time, and never fast in the display.  Analog scopes are all real-time by definition, with bandwidths in MHz, and you only need KHz (I think).
