I've seen ones in worse condition but I don't have pictures. Stuff coming back to the US from some of the NASA tracking and communications stations on the Caribbean islands looks much worse. That one

Re: worst condition Tektronix scope?
Sorry, incorrect. The HP 1744A was faster: 100 MHz BW, 1800 cm/us vs Tek 466 @ 1350 cm/us! The HP was storage-only, with a very wide range of variable persistence; from almost zero to many seconds.
