Yeah, me too. What WAS the significance of the scope?

there for.)

There was a long-running, marginally off-topic thread here about a
month ago, on the subject of Tektronix scopes, and especially the
rack-mount versions. It persisted for quite some time and all of
us old-gear-sluts(tm) weighed in on the subject.
Having gotten a Tek RM503 recently, it was suggested by a Listmember
(who, since the Joke flopped, will not be name) that it MIGHT BE FUNNY if
we mounted it in the rack with the 11/44.
I repeat: MIGHT BE FUNNY
Apparently, it was not - even Tony D sniffed at the concept. Oh Well...
That's all that was involved: I (we) thought that it might be a subtle
in-joke to make an obvious physical reference to a ListThread.
But it was not to be....
Bottom_Line: It was a JOKE. The JOKE flopped. I'm SORRY.

Now - if someone wants to donate an AA11 DAC cardset (or whatever the
model is) I'd be happy to make a nice vector display out of the 503...

Nobody
got it! O well....
I noticed the scope in your rack, but I quite reading the scope thread
long ago...
