To note further,this is a bistable STORAGE CRT. Amazing that these still turn up! The 564 was first sold in 1963!

FYI,there's a date code on the CRT showing when it was made,for example;4566 would be week 45,year 1966.

I have a 564 that worked last time I tried it about 5 years ago. :) But the storage on Tek scopes never was something I liked very much.

I HATED working on storage scopes,especially the 464/466/7834 transfer- storage types of storage. At least bistable storage was not that hard to adjust,and KNOW what you were doing.

And TEK stuck with them far too long,especially for graphics terminals.

I seem to recall HP has some very nice storage tube technology around the same time.

It's fun to see that my antique generated a little bit of cheerful discussion. Unfortunately I have a whole garage full of this kind of stuff. :-)

Why don't you put it all on Ebay,generate some cash,and help out some people? It's not doing any good collecting dust in your garage,and takes up garage space.
