I just won two Tek RM503s on EBay, one for my 8/S and one for the 8I. Talk
about old.... I have never worked on scopes this old... Hope I can get them
up and running to play spacewars soon. These were the original scopes used
in the LAB-8.. and now I find out (contrary to quite a few things in the
PDP-8 FAQ) they were also used as the oscilloscope on the 34D interface.
How is your 8/e restoration going?

My sentiments exactly.
I should *never* have sold my 465B. It was in pristine condition,
and I sorely miss it today. I would seriously look for a *nice*
465. They're old, but there were alot of them made, and they're
pretty reliable (well, I never had any trouble with mine, anyway).
That ain't old... I've got a Tek 317 that I bought at auction about six
or seven years ago... it has an A.E.C. inventory sticker from 1968. The
sign at the auction cashier's window said, "All equipment is guaranteed
to be non-radioactive". Some reassurance. :-)
It didn't come with probes, but a friend of mine at the local university
found me a package of vintage probes, unopened, in a drawer. Probably been
there since they were new.
