Much like my 1960 Hewlett-Packard 122AR scope. Built tough for the US Air Force, now retired from military life and having an easy time of it on my workbench. 54 years old, and still working most every day, with very little maintenance. If cars had been built as well as your Tek and my HP, there would be an awful lot of "antiques" still on the road. Forward into the past!schaublin65 wrote:

Hi,
"Much like my 1960 Hewlett-Packard 122AR scope."
those look really cool. The rackmount especially.
Apparently the HP was comparable in price to the Tek new.
Tek went for speed and HP for dual trace and a 5" tube.
If the postage wasn't so crazy I'd have both.
Old HP tube gear is great. I have a 200ab here to bring back to life.
"Torres 5F1 mod?"
Take care
John
