Hi.
I've had a lot of scopes too.
The first was a little valve one with a tiny screen of a bout two or three inches, the trace would just manage half of it and worked on one range only, it certainly was amusing though.
Then I got an old Telequpment valve scope from British Relay and the gaffer had a laugh and said "you're keen, I cant remember what the model was but all that was wrong with it was the CRT having an open circuit heater, managed to weld the heaters with AC from a tellies line stage!! Had it for a few years. Then gave up a bit of hobby work with growing up kids and working with Sony in Glasgow and a daily commute.
Got back into all this when self employed and had a couple of Hitachi V-212's and the Tek scope that needs work.
I did always hanker for the Tek with the line selector, (405,525,625 & 819). Used them at British Relay in the 70's while training as a station engineer on the Relay system which was the best job in the trade I have had, Sony second!!!
