Nice gift from a grateful elderly customer

[Ib≤In≤Iz]

Had a call out late evening this week, an elderly customer had lost all power to his lights in his bungalow. A faulty rcbo was the cause. Had a spare one in the van and didn't bother to charge him. He was retired RAF, really nice chap and was so grateful for what I had done for him. He gave me this as a thank you.

Tektronix - isn’t that @telectrix alter ego?
Well done Ib - good job and respect shown.

Yes I thought it was manufactured by @telectrix at first too

Just the job! The mutt's nuts, the dogs -------s, the canine's cojones!
What a work of art, look good on the workbench. Nice present altogether.
A client once gave me an old valve radio, and it was just superb! It got Hilversum and everything! Seriously though...stuff like that makes me smile...an old Hacker Sovereign now...that would be just perfect for the workshop, if anyone's listening!

Can't wait to have a play

Whereabouts do you insert the disc?

 

[pirate]

There's a slot round the back, between the speaker grilles...

built to last and clearly looked after. I do a bit of work for free being ex forces myself via the Royal British legion for veterans. They often really look after their kit and old keepsakes. One guy still had his maps, compass and navigation tools from when he flew as part of bomber command. he still meticulously cleaned them every week and said when he passes they will go to the raf museum.

That's right.... Take the lid off and have a poke about

Thanks for sharing that! Beautiful!

and it's got them lovely valves, none of them unreliable semiconductor crap that was fitted to exploding space shuttles.

Tektronix takes me back a good few years to thermal wax printers, jeez the quality of the print job was outstanding but a mission if you need to move one.

Reminds as I need to get my Fathers medals in order and dig out his fireman whistle from his Merchant Navy days in WWII.

Be careful poking around in that scope, definately never do it with power on.

Great score by the way.
