Title: Lovely old Tektronix 310A oscilloscope
Post by: cheesestraws on April 14, 2014, 06:49:01 PM

Thought I'd post a couple of photos of my much-loved old Tektronix 310A oscilloscope and its manual.

It works beautifully, glows a comforting orange, and warms up my living room, thus being bifunctional...

Does it work well as a hand warmer? I could have done with something like that earlier on today.

Anyway, yay for glowy electronics. Electronic things should have a nice glow more often :D.

It does once it gets going...

And yes.  It's such a nice colour, the glow, it makes the whole room look nicer!
