I hadn't realised that video had been added - absolutely fascinating!  No
wonder Tek scopes were (and still are) expensive.

The silk screen print that is put on the neck right at the end is T51P2A.
That corresponds to a 154-0081-00 CRT, used in the 531, 535, RM31, RM35, 513
and 513D scopes (courtesy of Stan's reference data on reprise.com).  So now
I know the detail of the manufacturing process in all my 500-series scopes -
amazing stuff.

Anyone interested in Tektronix gear ought to join the TekScopes yahoo group.
