I always lusted after one of these! If that’s the word , I even made my own using ,a 6 inch VCR97 ex WD ,I got it working but I had issues with generating 4000v for final anode I was 15 years old at the time, it was a bit dangerous, anyway I got a apprenticeship in Tv trade could always borrow one, I ended up with a Telequipement single beam , but a few years later I was made redundant, and treat myself to an Hitachi V513 50 Mhz I earned. A small fortune repairing Video Recorders
You, I and every other hobbyist of our generation. The 21st Century healthkit reincarnation has been, to say the least, a disappointment. Thanks for the comment.
The banana jacks are original from the Heathkit, just cleaned up. The line cord strain reliefs are jameco.com Part No. 182351. As far as the line cords themselves, I actually addressed that in a clip I cut during editing, but have now published. Thanks for commenting!
Love these old test equipment videos as I have an EICO signal tracer that needs some work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Wish they were still in business. Loved some of the kits you would get from them.

Going from memory, I believe that rotary switch is also used in the Heathkit SB 610. Carl AB1ZI
Interesting. Heathkit apparently routinely reused parts in various kits. Thanks for the comment and '73 from a fellow Ham.
Great video about a classic piece of test equipment. Where did you source the banana jacks and the new line cord with the grommet?
