The Prisoner - Roband RO50 scope

[Diabolical Artificer]

In an episode of the Prisoner recently I spotted this scope, see pic, but can't find a lot about them. Anyone familiar with them at all? This one looks a bit HP ish.

I'm not familiar with that 'scope but I did find this thread on VRAT that I think you'll find interesting :

At first glance I thought it was a Tek. Hardly surprising that other companies made their scopes look as near to Teks as they dared.

Missed that VRAT reference but did find this - http://www.roband.co.uk/174-heritage.html ,which infers Roband is still going, further down the page is a Tek 500 series ripoff or maybe an authorised build. In the Prisoner episodes there are a few Tek 500 series scopes used, usually when they are mucking about with #6's mind in a faux hospital.

Thanks for those links, Andy.
