It's fun to see that my antique generated a little bit of cheerful
discussion. Unfortunately I have a whole garage full of this kind of stuff.

Hi, I have a new Tektronix tube part # 154-0737-00. This is a CRT
for scopes 564B, R564B, or TLDN64.

This is new in the original box and looks perfect.

If anyone is interested, please drop me a note.

To note further,this is a bistable STORAGE CRT.
Amazing that these still turn up!
The 564 was first sold in 1963!

FYI,there's a date code on the CRT showing when it was made,for
example;4566 would be week 45,year 1966.

I have a 564 that worked last time I tried it about 5 years ago.
But the storage on Tek scopes never was something I liked very much.

I HATED working on storage scopes,especially the 464/466/7834 transfer-
storage types of storage. At least bistable storage was not that hard to
adjust,and KNOW what you were doing.

And TEK stuck with them far too long,especially for graphics terminals.

I seem to recall HP has some very nice storage tube technology around
the same time.
