[Milsurplus] Rodrigues cartoon

[Ben Dover]

Sort of reminds me of the RADAR scope I bought in high school, from a surplus 
house ad in a magazine; "Easy to convert into a first class workbench 
oscilloscope".

Conversion instructions, Step One;

"Remove ALL components from the chassis except cathode ray tube and front panel 
potentiometers. These components will not be required in the conversion, and 
may be discarded"!
