Tektronix 465 oscilloscope introduced in November 1972. - eviltoast

Sadly doesn’t work anymore as it was dropped and damaged. Found it at an ewaste site with the idea to build an ITX pc inside with a little DIY digital oscilloscope replacing the screen connected to the audio out so you can see the wave form as you listen to music or play games

    Be careful, I’m assuming it’s a CRT in there. If you know what you’re doing then don’t let me stop you, but the capacitors and tubes can be dangerous.

        Oof, I imagine that could’ve gone south - glad you’re still with us. Most scope CRTs tend to use voltages around 2-3kV (Tek scopes usually use 1.8kV accelerators). I’ve even got a scope that uses a specialized CRT that uses a 9kV tube (Tek 317) - definitely something scary to mess around with!
