Very nice, in addition I much appreciate the use of the period-appropriate oscilloscope. I've been offered a Tek 500 series recently, I'm reluctant to take it on as they are in practice such boat anchors compared to a modern scope, but I hate to see them scrapped. They were *the* scope of the '60s.
