I bought it out of curiosity. I thought it might be an early prototype. He also had something else that I thought Tom Rousseau would find interesting: 7A26 DUAL TRACE AMPLIFIER SERIAL NO. NUMERO UNO

Probably an engineering "hack" that needed most of a scope to test something else, or a production test fixture. The front panel looks like it was actually anodized with the lettering, so it might have been a production test fixture that they needed more than one of.
The seller is from Portland, so either they worked at Tek, or bought it from the company surplus store. These sort of test fixtures and engineering hacks showed up in the store often 20 years ago.
