Re: I wonder if there is much interest in vacuum tube oscilloscopes such as the 500 series
Well, there's the 400 series, of which I had some, and still have
468s. I have a Telequipment D75 which was well loved at one time (and
put aside for other, more sophisticated equipment).

It's probably just temporary; at least I hope it is.? I've limited myself to the 7K series and earlier, omitting the portables.? Have to draw the line somewhere!

Re: I wonder if there is much interest in vacuum tube oscilloscopes such as the 500 series
Hi John,

Re: Tek 2465B Calibrator issues
I don't like the "calibrator" output on the 24x5 series: the period changes according to the timebase so that there is always 5 cycles on the display. At high sweep speeds (i.e. much faster
