Title: "My" silly-scope!
Post by: PRR on July 24, 2023, 08:54:25 pm

About 1983 I saw a stripped-out oscillograph(scope) at the side of the road. '57 pentodes and the universal gas-tube sweep, big 7-pin sockets, very vintage. One of Allen B. DuMont's early builds.

Part of the shilling for the new movie Oppenheimer is clips from 1946 of Robert in the lab looking at 'my' silly-scope!

"The Real Oppenheimer - A Nuclear Historian's Perspective", 2:36 (https://youtu.be/908q0UpkuEw?t=157). Look quick! The clip dates to July 16, 1946.

Wow, what roads you must have traveled!  I never see that sort of thing ...  especially now as my eyes age out.
