>We’re suckers for a vintage electronic teardown here at Hackaday, and thus it’s pleasing to see [Thomas Scherrer OZ2CPU] with a 1962 AEG oscilloscope on his bench. It’s definitely seen better days, and is a single-trace 10 MHz unit of the type you might have seen in a typical general purpose electronics lab back in the day. Pulling the cover off, and as expected there’s a row of tubes each side of the centrally mounted CRT. No printed circuits in sight, and no transistors either, though the rectifiers are selenium parts. After a clean-up it’s time to look at the tubes, and they show the metallic deposits characteristic of long operation. We’re more used to that from older televisions than test equipment,

Interesting device. Not sure if it's 10MHz, according to the manual X-frequenzbereich is 700Khz with Y-verstärker 6db down at 6MHz.

He's going to turn that on one day and half the capacitors are going to pop.

Guy hasn't done much work with old equipment, you'll get plenty of EICO and Heathkit stuff that was just left on in the shop and has burnoff like crazy.
