[sdiy] Scope Probe

[Jim Bob]

Sorry for the totally beginner question.......
  Ive got an old scope that I got for free, w/ no probles.  Ive  tried using it w/out the probes.  Just using wires.  Should  it work at all like this?  I can get it tuned in to a wave  /\/\/\/  but that wave like the smaller part of a bigger wave that  goes up and down the screen.  Ive tested several things and all  seem to have the same result.
  
  Is this thing broken, or will it work if I get a probe?
  
  thanks
