1950s-1970s Tektronix 555 & 545A oscilloscopes on trolleys

Essential diagnostic equipment for any electronics lab or workshop scene. Oscilloscopes also make very visual props, adding interest to any tech set as the wobbling waveform displayed can be continuously moving. Please note that unless you connect a separate signal generator (wobble box) the screen will only show a dull flat line. We have the knowhow to configure various wobble boxes that are then capable of different animated or static patterns, geometric or randomly spiky etc. Please specify what you require.

These Tektronix 'scopes are particularly large, complex for their time instruments, crammed with valves (vacuum tubes) originating from the 1950s but produced until the 1970s. The trolleys are now a rarity as many would have been thrown away for taking up too much space once these were put into retirement store prior to being permanently disposed of. Back in the days, these were top of the line laboratory 'scopes used for designing & fault finding complex systems such as early mainframe computers. Essential kit for a mid 20'th century electronics lab or workshop. One of these same scopes is featured - (though used wrongly) - in "Hidden Figures" - the film set in the 50s & 60s about the extraordinarily talented black women who played a background, but absolutely vital mathematical & engineering role in the early days of NASA.

Please note that these are priced individually & must be ordered individually.
