Re: Trivia- can you identify these probes/probe accessories circa 1960 (or before)?


 

Hi,

I don't know what that stuff is but I admire the photos. My Finepix 5000 will not focus near that close. What kind do you use?

Subject: [TekScopes] Trivia- can you identify these probes/probe accessories circa 1960 (or before)?

?
This past weekend I bought a 310A in a leather carrycase with several probes and probe accessories. Nice! The 310A will be a future project- haven't even tried to power it up yet. Included several types of probe tips I may never find a use for.

In the case were a few things I can't identify. If you can, please also tell if there is a proper way (or improper way) to use them, and maybe why they aren't (evidently) used/manufactured anymore.

Photo A: some type of scope input connector (not sure if you'd call it a probe):


Photo B: some kind of probe accessory/tip (the black screw-on connectors were packaged for/by IBM if that's any clue):


Photo C: evidently a Tek probe, but no markings other than "600V Max, 10 Meg, 14uuF, Atten 10X") around the base end. Cable is a Amphenol No. 621-685:


What's the teflon screw intended for? The access for compensation is on the other side.

Cheers,
Keith Ostertag
