In the movie, "Diamonds Are Forever" they have a company called "Tectronics". I believe I have it spelled the way they have it in the movie. I'm to lazy to pull out all my James Bond movies (and I have ALL of them!). They have a nice 500 series Tektronix scope in Dr No. They have the infamous Telequipment S51B in both Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice. And they have either a 453 or 454 on the boat that is NOT a chase boat in "You Only Live Twice".
They also have S51B in most of the Gerry Anderson series like "Thunderbirds", There's a nice close up of a 54? (I think it's a 547 or 545) in the opening sequence of Journey to the Far Side Of The Sun. The Real McCoy has a nice 200 series (221?) and I forgot the name of the movie from the early 80's with a girl electronics engineer and her airplane flying boyfriend. In the car outside the lab they had a spectrum analyzer and a Tek scope in their car (Prime Risk seems to come to mind as the title, though it was a "B" picture. And Dark Angel has an RM503 that gets smashed to pieces at the end of the second season (so sad! I use to have 3 RM503's and 2 503's). I wouldn't be surprised if Tek was in Irwin Allen's stuff or the original "Mission Impossible" with Barney Collier. I always drooled at all the gadgets he would pull out each week. There are many more oscilloscopes in TV and Movie land. The Oscilloscope always makes it own statement in a show.
