It's astonishing how much our predecessors refined the design of CRT's and how much they achieved with technology of the day that to nowadays generations seems "very old" and defunct. It fascinates me still how engineers back then managed to get the most out of existing materials by applying physics in the right way. I believe it's an "art" that is slowly being lost due to the digitalization of society. Much can indeed be solved using digital tech, whereas in the "analog age" each problem almost always needed its own solution
Almost without argument, Tektronix pushed CRT technology and performance to a level that was never matched by anybody else. What they made, in many cases, was not merely a means of displaying the output of a measurement instrument, but the CRT itself was a precision instrument that allowed Tektronix scopes of the era to outperform all competitors. You could simply see things going on in circuits because of the sensitivity and response of the Tektronix CRT that would not be seen with competitor's scopes.
Analog FILM?? Try Videotape. didn't come any better than 480i. doubtful it would ever look any better than it is. Also Aspect ratio is 4:3. that was standard for the time.

Have had many Tek & HP scopes.
Never, have I ever had a CRT go bad.
It usually outlasts everything else!
Man-o-man Those were great years for men’s hairstyles.
Thanks for the blast from the past! Combination of automation and hands on or in some cases eyes on as well.
reupload with higher quality, please
I know, it's tiny analog film, but it surely didn't have all these artefacts and annoying 360p glitches
AND the aspect ratio

8:58 are those chinese characters? wtf
Let's talk about quality. About quality of this Intro music. Jesus Christ! Can't be any cheaper, can it?!?
I think the music is pretty darn good.
