That scope came out during the 70s where I was a metrology technician in the Air Force and use to calibrate and repair those scopes along with a wide array of other test equipment. HP wasn't known for their scopes. Their specialty was RF equipment.
Hey, thanks for your comment. Yeah, I picked that scope up on a lark. It doesn’t appear to be the same league as a tectonic scope. I was able to major some modulation with it on the 40 m amateur band and it seems like it works good for that I suppose it would be good for basic of HF and VFo
30MHz is way past its 3db range. Feeding it a 5MHz Sine wave and noting its peek to peek level then winding up the generator until this peek to peek falls to 0.707 of its original 5MHz level..... that will be its upper bandwidth (For a Sinewave, Square wave bandwidth would be a lot lot lower)
Thank you for the clarification. I wasn’t really sure of the limits of the scope being from 1962. I figured it wasn’t a moon rocket but it does work. I’ve been looking at modulation on the 40 m amateur radio band with it and it seems to work for that. Take a look at the video which is newer than this one.

Nice find it works rare
Yeah, I can’t believe a thing fired up and worked. If it was broken I don’t think I would have the wherewithal to fix it.

It's a mint looking scope though considering its age...
