It always saddens me to trash old tech. I was holding onto this old TV tube from early 1960s, hoping someone needful would want it, but there are probably 3 old geezers left on the whole continent left who would want one.
The guy at the TV repair store only had flat screens and wasn't at all interested 🥲
Plus, it was made in #Australia.
We don't make a urging here anymore 😐

This #hp #signalGenerator Model 606A from the year 1969 (yes, it is heavy!) seems to be quite capable for its age. For sure requires proper renovation. Lovely #UI.

This #hp #oscilloscope is a beauty and I intend to give it some well needed TLC.

Unit Oscillators: ”[These]Unit Oscillators are general-purpose radiofrequency power sources covering the ranges of 250 to 960 Mc and 180 to 600 Mc, respectively. These members of the convenient Unit Instrument line can be used to drive bridges, slotted lines, impedance comparators, and other measuring equipment. Used with a volt-meter and attenuator, they provide accurately known output voltages for the testing of receivers.

An old, rusty TV I made in Blender. It's not the finished product, but I made good progress so I thought I'd share anyways. I plan to use it in my upcoming game.
