The scope on my workbench is a 543 with a 1A1 dual trace plugin. While not technically part of the 500 series, a 585 was the first piece of tube equipment I successfully repaired. On Tue, Feb 22, 2022, 5:03 PM Dave McGuire via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Always consider the unrecognized secondary uses of the big Tektronix 500 series scopes:
- Learning how to use a tube tester - Heating a small room - Adding weight to your car for better traction in winter
I have a collection of 500-series oscilloscopes. Fantastic instruments, even by today's standards. If I didn't care about the power bill, I could do my "day job" with a 547.
I have a 519 in my lab. (actually two) While not really a part of the 500-series, that model was a real achievement.
