Old oscilliscopes - should I harvest them for parts?

Still haven't torn this one apart.

It wouldn't be too difficult to convert (pervert?) a scope into a fuzz that will show you exactly what it is doing to the waveform.  Seriously, somebody should do this.  Just inputs to the regular scope inputs, outputs from the vertical amplifier and you can watch it all.

I wish I hadn't read that. Now I have to have one. Brilliant idea.

Fortunately, if put at the end of my to do list, I have about three hundred years to source the parts.

There are some ancient looking diodes in this thing, as well as a ton of weird coil like things I have no idea what they are...

top pic, below C684, is a string of 4 pi-section chokes. they wound them like that to improve their high freq characteristics, or summink. possibly 51uH, but don't quote me.

it certainly is a thing of beauty inside. the mt box would make a fantastic case for a ..... I dunno, oscilloscope? maybe if I look at your pics a bit longer, I won't have to open my old cro and do those repairs to the trigger section.

Some of my best tubes (Amperex Bugle Boys and Telefunkens) came out of a Type 547 that was surplussed from NASA Goddard.  Plus a bunch of fun house marked transistors.
