Back in the late '70s and early '80s, I used a
particular oscilloscope,
a "TYPE 304 H" "CATHODE-RAY OSCILLOGRAPH" from "ALLEN B. DUMONT
LABORATORIES, INC., PASSAIC, N.J., U.S.A." (all quotes come from the
front panel markings). It worked fine then.
Before the days of Tek and HP, Dumont scopes were some of the best
available. At various times, I've had Eico and RCA scopes, and both brands
had serious warm-up drift. Supposedly, the Dumonts were among the most
stable.
