Exploring the inside of an old Philips Oscilloscope

The PM3200 #oscilloscope was a workhorse of the time. I share with you a tour of its inside, a time travel to the past exploring how #electronic devices were made. The Philips PM3200 was able to work either from mains and from a 24V battery, making it one of the first affordable portable oscilloscopes. Built in the 1970s it featured a single trace at 10MHz. Being well designed and built, it was a reliable tool for the service man working either in a laboratory or on field. I got this instrument when I was young, for free as it was already obsolete at the time. A few years ago it died and, being obsolete also for me, I put it in a corner collecting dust. Because it is arrived the moment I have to make room I have to throw it into the dumpster. So as a farewell to this old friend I decided to take it apart and explore the inside sharing with you this experience. I think that many, among you, have never had the occasion to see old electronic equipment so this could be kind of an experience like visiting a museum. Also it is fascinating how the engineers of the time used to overcome space limits and stray inductances designing rotary commutators that hold the components into themselves instead of connecting esternal components. A technique that could inspire and still useful today if one want to design fully analog circuits.
