LOL! I like HP's screwdriver with bells and whistles! And yes, that add was something very cheap, unbecoming of HP.
Thank you Dennis for the piece of Tektronix history. It keeps raising my appreciation for the brand.
I have always found the Hewlett Packard oscilloscopes odious. I hate the way the 180 looked, starting with its knobs
and continuing with its ridiculous bezel. Maybe that style appealed to girls, and Tektronix style is for men?
I LOVE the look of the 7000 series. And its readout adds a strong touch of elegance
I don't get tired of glancing at the 7704A full of plugins in one corner of my office,
and seeing at its side the 547, the most aesthetic oscilloscope ever (in my humble opinion).
