That old Tek 502 was given to me for by an aquaintance.
It was stored in a humidity free clean room for nearly 35 years.
It was installed in a custom instrument rack that was never actually used.
When I got it about 15 years ago, it was basically brand new and still shiny.
Even the fan filter was shiny.
The beam is extremly fine and shows a lot of detail.
Takes a good 30 to 45 minutes to warm up but once it does it performs very nicely. Sometimes I need to work the switches back and forth a few times but it never fails me.
I also love that old Hp oscillator.....Especially the humm that it sings along at whatever frequency it's outputting
