Yes, Leon - I would be interested to see catalog pages.
Have been looking for any kind of reference to this scope without much
luck. It has been "red-tagged", apparently there is a bad tunnel diode
in the time base...
Not sure I'll ever fix it, but would like to know more. Has very
unusual joystick-type trace positioning...wonder what for? Some kind
of X-Y work? Panel layouts of the plug-ins resemble 3A72/3A1/3A2/3A6
and 3B3. Curious, to think that both scopes where used at the same
facility. Tek for reference, Fairchild for economy and/or space
savings by way of the smaller footprint of the cart? Or...??

mainframe and plugins from the 1964/65 catalog if you need
them, sorry no manuals.

Tek 561A & Fairchild 766H/F, apparently lived at
the same "R&D LAB".
Plug-ins are mechanically?interchangeable and use
interface connectors from the same manufacturer but with
different pin count and orientation. The Fairchild is solid
state, its cart lighter, smaller with crude tilt adjustment.
The sheetmetal scope covers are textured and formed like
Tek's.
