Excellent! Is it in working condition? Black front panel, no
graticule covering the face of the CRT, square potted power
transformer? I had one too, but nearly 20 years ago, I did something
regrettable with it: disassembled it for parts (probably still have
most of them around here somewhere). Fortunately, I never did
anything like that to my Tektronix 531 or Heathkit OM-3. As far as I
know, the empty chasis is still in the back yard covered in vines and
inhabited by spiders, if anything's left of it besides rust.
