Hey Mr. Carlson are you need of anymore plug-ins? I have a dozen or so that I currently have no need for. Thank you! Keep spreading the knowledge!
Love your channel !! Would love to get you to restore one of my favorite Vintage amps !
Are you on North America ?
no dehumidifier ?
How many scopes?
@@estpst "How many scopes?"
Yes!
This guy has 90% of the worlds analog oscilloscope stock
he literally can control oscilloscope's world price by injecting bunch of them into the market 😂
🤣 🤣 🤣 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I'm jealous!
looks like it, but recently I went to a business near me, so much equipment I was in danger just exploring. I never seen so much in one place. I've been in it for 60 years.
Paul.... Tektronixs called, they want their museum back.
Hahaha - good one!
Mervin Griff , Funny stuff! LOL
Museum! Mr Carlson could open a store and run an auction on e-bay to boot....XD
Lol
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaattt????? I'm not going to feel bad about how crowded my Vault is anymore.
Thanks for stopping by Fran!
@@MrCarlsonsLab You know Mr. Carlson is GOLD, when Fran Blanche(GOLD also) stops by !!!
Shocking but true Fran… Believe it or not! I think he’s got possibly more Tektronix equipment in his garage than I do Silicon Graphics equipment in my garage and under the sun room in our house, and I’ve got A Lot!!! I wish I’d saved a lot of the old equipment I was offered when I worked for HP for 22 years.
Oh hey fran
I have to agree with you. I hate seeing old electronics gear relegated to the landfills. I also hate seeing pieces turned into steampunk lamps, etc.
Steampunk pissed me off more than it probably should. I think it's because it's trying to look complex yet doing nothing of use.
I also. This isn't just old equipment, this is electronic history. To me, this is still revelant history today. Shame this kind of thing ends up in the landfill. Thank you Mr.Carlson for doing more than your part!
Be careful! If you add another Tektronix scope it might reach Tektronix critical mass and start a Tektronix nuclear reaction. Beautiful and well kept collection! Makes my HP collection look almost reasonably sized ;-) .
Hi Marc. You have a great collection, I think your "reasonably sized" reference is the same as mine :^)
That's not a lab, it is a cool museum. You should start charging entrance fee
Seal or epoxy coat that concrete floor. It will create dust just walking around on it.
Glad to see probably the most brilliant person on UA-cam still putting out great videos!
I agree
I believe that you are the most valuable person on youtube and I appreciate your work very much. I've gained a lot of knowledge watching your movies and I'm always looking forward to the next one. Greetings from Poland :)
I appreciate the kind comment!
Agreed
Wow, A walk down memory lane. I repaired and calibrated most of that equipment during my 20 years in the USAF'
Dude. That's a museum. Mad props for keeping them alive.
Boy this bring back memories. I worked for Tektronics at thier Rockville MD repair facility in 1972 and 73. Learned a lot about electronic working on those.
Thanks for stopping by Ray!
A man after my own heart. Love old electronics just because they were built to last by design - they wanted people to repair and maintain. All those scopes in your shop have a smile on their screen, they feel like they have a chance.
Meine Götterväters Mr C, you have been a busy bee collecting all that treasure. What makes me happy is the fact you are a collector who knows not just the aesthetic, but all of their workings and beyond. Most collectors love the device, yet know little of what they really have.
Edit - I would love to see all the scopes arranged by the shade of scope green…
Grant Wyness , That "green comment" totally cracked me up!
I don't understand how you can make do with so few oscilloscopes. The hardship! Not even NASA has that much equipment. Absolutely gorgeous, of course. And you're constructing another lab. Amazing! Thanks for sharing all this fascinating footage.
Glad to share!
Oh man, you're crazy. I mean the good way! I love your Collection. Keep up the great Work!
Best electronics UA-camr!
Thanks for your kind comment Finn!
"Hi, my name is Paul, and I'm an addict."
Yeah. LOL.
My thoughts exactly
My name is Colin, and I'm a video recorder addict. Betamax rules. Oh dear, I'm a mess.
Its been six days since I bought a scope...
@Peter the elephant in the room is... how many identical scopes do you need. I think once you get past 20.. questions need to be raised
I would never advise how to arrange another man's shop, I'm sure you'll get it just how you need it. Congratulations Mr Carlson for your new shop, nothing like having something better to work in.
There's is NOTHING quite as beautiful as a well organized shop/lab.
You are one of a kind Dr. Carlson, thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome Paul.
I see some things I recognize. I won’t spoil it because I know Mr. Carlson likes not spoiling the surprises but I am looking forward to it. There is art on those shelves. Thanks again for all you do. Learning so much so fast.
Carsons scope museum attracting visitors globally. The good thing is they're not all getting destroyed instead restored to their glory days. Very good indeed.
My girlfriend thinks I have stuff, but this is next level. Wow, wow, wow.
ctho admin , SHHHH! Been married for 56 years. BEST keep your mouth SHUT.
Lolololol
Our wives and girlfriends don't understand they see this stuff and to them its just old items that should be tossed away. I'm fighting with my wife now we are moving and she's telling me to toss my old books. These are out of print books. I also have some older model stereo receivers I want to repair but she's telling me to toss those too.
My wife is like the alien in the movie Predator. She can't recognize a new project and doesn't go into attack mode. That's 'cuz they all look the same to her, and I never work on more than one at a time. Also, I have to keep them separated or it's game over.
@@bingojamas4786 I once thought that with my trains, but no, she knew every single one of them :)
I'm shaking my head and smiling, wow!
WOW! great space! Is this a commercial office/warehouse type space or your home garage?
Home garage, take a look at this video series:
ua-cam.com/video/JjNsLEM6goM/v-deo.html
Let's just say it's one of my other area's. Thanks for stopping by!
Its Mr. Carlson's own museum.
@@tedmoss , Thankfully, it is only what he says it is.
Your space is coming along so well
Wow, you have more vintage Tek scopes than at the Tektronix museum! How awesome.
Mr Carlson's Lab And Museum, thank you for preserving such great equipment and passing on your expertise.
Thanks for watching!
I am 1 second in and gasping! That's some flex right there!
Now to actually watch the video
1 second?, the thumbnail did it for me, no mouse click needed
What a wonderful collection of Tektronix equipment. Seeing that took me back to the 70s when I went to college and started work as an electronics engineer developing switch mode power supplies.
I was probably the only kid in my school with a Tektronix scope in my bedroom in the mid '70's. It was one of those big units that my Dad brought home from work years earlier. A few times I hooked the input up to my longwire DX antenna, set it up with a slow trace, and watched the display jump around during lightning storms. Not sure my Dad ever found out.
Damn, i've never seen so much old tektronix gear at one place but i'm really sure they are in good hands. Beautiful!
Yay the engine analyzer, can't wait to see you restore it!
I cant wait to see and I am excited to know that I have content to watch for the next 40 years! Keep up the great work Paul.
I can't wait to hear the stories behind those incredible devices! Thanks for sharing with all of us! You're much appreciated!
I SHOCKED!!! Looks like old BIG gods of Ancient Greece - old, mighty, beauty and with many kinds!!!
How about a bench not against a wall? With some of those heavy pieces of equipment it would be quite nice to have access all around.
Thanks for your input!
What a brilliant idea.
Excellent idea!
My first thought as well
@@pibbles-a-plenty1105 Nothing the gantry crane wouldn't handle.
I’m in awe, all I can say is wow!
WOW! I enjoy watching, listening and attempting to learn from you so much. Thank You for Sharing!!!!! I so glad to see some actively making a dream happen! Great Job and I wish you all the very best!
Dear Mr. Carlson, for sure you are the best and high expertise in electronics and you are best talented teacher also. One thing to remember that you must teach at least one of your family member or members to reach your expertise, without that your expertise will lost forever in some day.
That collection of scopes and equipment are absolutely AMAZING...
And awesome..!!
I'm jealous..😀
As someone who works in calibration this collection makes me happy. Love the videos!
Thanks for your kind comment Harrison!
Waw, I'm impressed ! Nice workshop, congratulations !
Mr. Carlson, you are the kind of detailed-oriented guy that I could see designing and building the ultimate dream electronic workbench! A mobile workbench with integrated work stools all around! that you could roll out to the center of the room under a fixed overhead bank of remote-controlled lights and multiple zoom cameras. Could also see you adding a fixed bank of overhead instrumentation with retractable probes, soldering irons, etc... to facilitate basic measurements while simultaneously documenting electronic training classes, circuit designs, teardowns, and repair projects at various angles 360 degrees around the bench. WOULD BE WAY COOL!!
Thanks for your input Dan!
Why does the phrase “12-step program” come to mind?
Him: “Hi! My name is Mr. Carlson...and I am an O-Scope-o-holic.”
Us: “Hi Mr. Carlson! We like tubes!”
You will need a dedicated SUB-STATION to power all of them up at the same time.
Yeah, he built that, few episodes ago... ⚡⚡😂
Was that the episode where he use chewing gum wrappers and a couple of old rotten sacks to make a small fusion reactor ?
Substation? More like a nuclear reactor for sure. Just don't go with the RBMK-1000, I don't wanna see another one blow up :)
It’s like having a peek behind the scenes of tekscopes mailing list. It takes a lot of time and dedication. Never thought that anyone is actually investing so much time and money (space) into preserving their Tek collection. I have always imagined it as a dust-filled room by some hoarder (sorry, I meant collector). I am impressed! Really.
Before adding anything else, I would encourage you to make sure you will not have moisture coming up from the concrete slab. Personally I would cover with epoxy paint , easy to do, durable and cleans up easily. Worse case seal it, and I am not aware of any garage panel doors that actually seal for any length of time. Not sure what humidity is like there. Easy test for slab, cut say 2ft. X 2ft. Clear Plastic, no holes. Tape all edges to concrete and see if any condensation forms underneath in 24 hrs. There are several different ways to test concrete moisture test, this is cheapest. It will save many a headache down the road. Congrats on new labs.
Glad I found your channel. This is one of the most interesting (and cool) electronics channels I've seen. Thanks sharing your new lab too.
Welcome aboard!
Excelente!! Que tremenda colección, me gusta esa dedicación por lo antiguo, sin dejar atrás lo nuevo!
Felicitaciones!!
Mr Carlson's Sir Wonderful Collections Of Oscilloscope Meters And Nice compressor, Welding Set.
Congrats on the new Lab ! More space means More projects !
Appreciate your in-depth knowledge and your ability to relate it in a way that is both entertaining and educational!
Especially Enjoying all the vintage equipment and your comments on the design and pioneering used in these older designs.
Thank you Mr Carlson ! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the world..
Thats a GREAT space!.........couldn't help but notice is the shelving bending a little with the weight?
That bottom level has those two old Marconi television scopes on it, so it's a little stressed.
Whenever someone tries to convince me I don't need another scope I'll show them this...
Could you do a video on the very best of antique hi-end audio, say best of 1920's, 1930's, 1940's, 1950's, 1960's audio. The type of equipment that either had the best sound possible at the time, or that only the more well to do, could afford. Thanks. Love all your videos ! They are always very informative and I love how you explain things and do not talk down to us listeners, who are not as knowledgeable. Keep up the good work !
Nice Lab !
We had one of the Tek oscilloscopes that was rated at 1 GHZ. It had a serial number of 97. Tek normally kept the first 100. We go it because we were one of the few labs doing nuclear research. The scope didn't have a vert. amplifier...the signal went directly to the crt plates.
Hi Randy, yes that sounds like the 519, which is what you saw on the floor here.
Well if the late great Jim Williams ever had dreams of what heaven was like........I think this is it. P.S. I will save the video and show it to my wife whenever she says I have too much electronic gear.
this is very interesting! looking forward to seeing more of the new Lab.
So organized, so clean beautiful 😍
Thanks John!
I have one old Tektronix scope but wow that's some collection. Very nice clean room for your collection and your lab. Thank you for sharing Paul.
You're very welcome Larry!
And I thought Jay Leno’s garage was cool. This is spectacular.
I wonder if this collection is world-unique. Amazing to see the scope of it! (Pun intended!).
Thanks for stopping by Shahriar!
I'm impressed & overwhelmed!
A museum of electronics equipment.
If it doesn’t end up looking like a maze, I will be disappointed. 😃 looks so cozy. Cheers.
Professor Carlson. Every one of your videos is a learning experience. thank you for your dedication of rebuilding and not just throwing away hardware. Our society does that much too easy these days. The audio system you use is simply amazing with your 70"s DJ voice. I could just picture you spinning records on maybe KHJ or KRLA or even KOMA back in the day
Maybe a good thought would be to put the bench in the middle of the shop. would make excellent access for video and traffic pattern. Just a thought. Please keep the videos coming
You’re awesome Mr. Carlson !! I appreciate ALL your knowledge and Common Sense !!
Thank you for what you do !!
Looking Forward to ALL these restorations and explanations !!
You are very welcome!
When I see all the HP equipment you’ve got in the back ground and the stuff you’ve worked on (Including that 521 frequency counter) it really takes me back to the 15 years I worked on HP equipment as a bench repair tech in their instrumentation service depart at the Fullerton California office and their two LA service centers near LAX. I started off in January of 1973 as a trainee tech repairing the HP35. I finished my last 7 years in their medical products division before bugging out to the Santa Fe Railway.
Thanks for sharing your story Paul!
@@MrCarlsonsLab I like the 3403A’s you’ve got on your new work bench, worked on a few of those over the years.
Instead of a static bench, you should make a mobile bench. Something like a heavy duty kitchen island on casters. It would allow you to move it around as you reconfigure your lab. Power drops from the ceiling could connect to the bench with twist locks to give you whatever power you need.
That's an impressive collection and a joy to look at. You may want to consider thinking about securing the windows and roller doors much better mechanically, installing a burglar alarm system and a fire alarm.
What you gathered there does not only represent material values.
Around 1978, my employer had a Tektronix graphics terminal where we were required to make computer software flowcharts. It had a print button that had a smell similar to mimeograph machines
This is absolutely fascinating
Wow, space woo hoo! I like your current work area with access to all your gear, this new area looks like a non electronics specific work area and a fantastic storage area for equipment that is not used all the time. So I think if it were me I would put a new bench in your new area for general work, metal work, soldering etc etc and keep your original for analysis. Love your video's thank you
Ideas for the new lab? I think you need a couple more scopes... e.g. when restoring that old TV, you want to probe every junction in the device at the same time and look at the waveforms!
Very impressive lab!
Truley a spectacular array of old school electronic equipment!!!
Have the film (movie) companies ever been in contact with you when they need vintage equipment?
Hi Chris, yes they have wanted to film at the lab.
@@MrCarlsonsLab Did you let them?
Oh my god!!!! A full time job to keep that equipment going & calibrated!!!!
Peter King , I wonder if you have any employees who help with EXACTLY that job?
@@BruceNitroxpro I’m confused by your response… ?
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this.
My pleasure!
I love that collection, makes me remember my days at Collins Radio in Dallas. Real Scopes...
I'd sure be interested in the story behind this amazing collection. Did you acquire each item from different sources over time, did you buy out another lab, do you have a history with the manufacturer, or what?
What an absolutely stunning collection!
Also, you know your Tek scopes are properly heft when they can give a slight bow to steel racks that beefy, haha.
At any rate, color me all the shades of jealous!
I look forward to your next video regarding the HP scope! Thanks for stopping by!
Is this what electronics heaven looks like?
Great , looking forward to all new episodes 👍🙂🇬🇧
if someone break into your lab, he thinks its an space control center😅
They'll probably be like "The government will find me if I touch shit, better gtfo"
@@windshield11 , HOPEFULLY!
Holy cr@p ... what a collection!!
WOW! Incredible!
Thanks so much for all your great videos. This one is incredible!!!
Glad you enjoyed Gene!
My God , I hope you have good security ... and insurance.. 🙄🤔
I love it...
😎👍☘🍺
Awesome Paul!!! so are you going to end up with 4 labs? or are you going to consolidate the two current into the two new ones you are building? The current submarine view of your intros is super cool. And it seems you have several models repeated, what do you do with them after fixing them? You could start a school to pass your VAST knowledge to new generations.
Simply wow! 👍
thank you for such a great effort and sharing to everybody,
It's my pleasure.
Paul, I think you have more Tektronix 'scopes than I saw when I went on a tour of their factory in Beaverton OR when visiting from Marconi in England - February 1978 I believe. Three of us were staying in the area for a couple of weeks to undertake hardware and software training on the AP120B array processor at at Floating Point Systems Inc.
Hi Philip. I'm told it's one of the largest collections in the world, but who knows? There is always someone with more.
Pretty soon the Vintage TEK Museum will be calling YOU for input.
What makes you think they don't already ?
@@frankowalker4662 Wouldn't be surprised. Those guys seem to be made made from Paul Carlson stuff, and that's a compliment.
Oh boy - a proper electronics engineer man cave - I guess if it gets cold you just fire up the test gear - and its more EMP proof that alot of the modern stuff. Your a credit to engineering and everything associated with electronics. Well done sir! 73 de GI8WFA.
Wow! What a collection.
I’d love to see you do an episode on that engine analyser 😀
Mark jenkins , I am amazed that I only saw one other request to see that engine analyser restored here! So far, that is!
OMG Paul, how big house do you have? To have place for all this equipment, you must have a really big house. Anyway, you are lucky to have a place for all your equipments, and have place for several labs.
Awesome collection, looking forward to seeing more of this Lab episode
Wonderful collection Paul, all the best in the relocation of the lab, looking forward to more videos from the new lab in the future...
