[Milsurplus] OS-8G/U O-Scope info needed

[J Forster]

I don't know about the G version, but the C version was essentially a
Waterman "Pocket Scope". I used one in the early '60s and it was  not
much of an instrument. The only thing it had over a Tek 535 was it's
small size. It was likely useful for it's intended purpose, field
service of essentially WW II / Korea vintage stuff, but certainly not a
'scope a designer would fancy.  I think the BW was in the 5 to 10 MHz
range, but am not sure after so long.

If it's really essentially NOS, a collector might fancy it, but I doubt
it's worth much more than $50 today.

By now, the electrolytics would certainly need reforming.

Good luck,
-John
