Vintage 1972 Tektronix 7613 oscilloscope. This picture was taken where I found it; in the Best Buy recycling zone. I nabbed it so damn quick.
Here it is, cleaned, calibrated, and powered on! I was lucky it worked right off the bat. That doesn’t happen too often with these guys. If you have any questions you’d like to ask - feel free! I could also make a post about oscilloscope usage, if anyone is a rookie or wants to learn about their history or operation.

They were made in Bridgeman Michigan IIRC.

Neat!

I got offered one like this a while ago. Would've been neat to have but I've learned to stop hoarding discarded equipment

I end up selling a lot of my old equipment on eBay. You’d be surprised how much I’ve made. I can’t stand them going to landfills.

If you ever happen upon another one I’ll buy it off ya. Haha.

I don't see a calibration sticker, means it isn't ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. Lies!

I calibrated it myself by following the service manual. I’m likely not going to use it for precision work anyway.

Tbh if you paid a cal lab to do it, that is all they would do too.

Yeah. Thank goodness Tektronix and most brands are good about providing service and user manuals.

Not to mention... a surprisingly large price of getting old scopes calibrated is the shipping cost of such a heavy/delicate machine.
