It's scope week
#4

Dad worked for Motorola starting in the late 60's and retired from there in the 90's. I'd guess the Tek was a perk and probably wasn't used much. He was designing VHF/UHF radio systems for two way radio accounts (like police and fire) making sure that they would fulfill the sells claims. He was in his mid 40's when it was built.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
