The Memcor I have differs only in the front panels (sealed against dust and
moisture), internally it is Tek, and the plug-ins have Tek ID plates on the
chassis (I think the mainframe does as well).

Watch out! The military scopes that look like Teks but are not are really
bad clones (Lavoies are the worst). They were made under license and just
are not up to Tek standards. When they were in service they were the curse
of the ET and Tech Rep crowd.
