Hackaday reports that Thomas Scherrer OZ2CPU has posted a YouTube tear-down video of a vintage AEG 10 MHz oscilloscope from 1962 that is worth looking at.
In the past, similar vintage test gear has been featured that is worth collecting, and this scope is of interest as it has lasted very well, having functioned reliably over nearly seventy years.
Oscilloscopes of this type were general-purpose instruments found in many labs in the 1960s and often included a trace generator as well as a CRT display and were useful for many tests.
This one uses selenium rectifiers and a series of tubes for circuitry and triggering, as well as a CRT display, and is a rare working example of this vintage test equipment technology.
