Can anyone ID this scope? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

No identifying marks.

I thought it might be a Tektronix from the blue screen but I can't find anything with that configuration of red knobs.

Looks like and Advance/Gould 3300 to me.

So it does. Thank you.

I seem to recall that Gould were the 'poor man's alternative to Tektronix. I recall a stark difference regarding Tektronix sales pitch across the globe. In Australia, the reps. were always up to do a deal, but when we asked for a discount on a multiple buy in the UK, we were just fixed with a very huffy attitude. From the response, you would have though we were trying to buy the Concorde!

This is why the defence company I worked for years ago bought Philips and HP stuff in the end. Tek wouldn't do them a decent enough discount.

Yes, Advance / Gould - I've got two of them.
