Bikerman,
Dear neighbour, here you can buy the Mosfets in Denmark ;D.

They are not very expensive; they are cheaper than the 9540.
I think you can get away with 8 of them if well cooled. 8)

Kevin,
It sure is a good help for determining pulses and such. I think $150 is OK for this scope. How hot is very hot and what is the source of the heat (power supply)? The GND switch just grounds the input as far as I know. It looks good but what
Kain,
I have never disassembled a toroid ;D and often there is an airgap on the old types that is enough to put on a few turns. The wire needed for this kind of low current is only a very thin insulated one and not many turns are required. The PCB transformers that are moulded are of curse out...
Dazza,
I usually put on some turns of wire on top of the transformers winding to create a separate supply (or two). This solution takes some experimentation and it is not all transformers that have room for this extra winding.
