Type M01 'scope
Hi Steve,

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.

closer look. It turns out that before the 7000 series got its name Tek developed two products called the L01 and the M01. The M01 was a 4 slot scope like the later 7704. The L01 was a 3 slot scope like the later 7603. These were a nightmare to build. Almost everything was hand wired. The harmonica connectors had been developed but they were hand wired rather than using ribbon cable. The wires ended at hand soldered pins mounted in the chassis walls. This particular M01 scope is serial A11 which means it is an A-phase prototype. After A-phase comes B phase, and then production. It came with an engineering prototype of what would ultimately become the 7B71 Delaying Time base in it. This was unusual because it used round pushbuttons for the triggering selection and not the square ones that finally made it into production. Dennis -----Original Message-----

Hi Dennis,
Very nice this one of a kind. But the remark about a nightmare to build I cannot follow. In that era (till 1972) Tektronix also build the Type 556 (Dual Beam/Gun, Hybrid Design). I think a "little" more" complex with nearly all semiconductors soldered on ceramic strips like the other classic Mainframes. Oke it was maybe not so tightly constructed as the M01.
