Tektronix used to have their own CRT fabrication shop (the Engineering Tube Lab) for building prototypes for oscilloscopes under development. apparently, as a joke, they made two CRTs out of old coke bottles. named the Coketron, natch.

@tubetime this thread is making me wish I didn’t get rid of that LC III I picked up years ago and decided I had no sensible reason to hang into. Sometimes it’s ok to not be sensible.

@tubetime OMG, too funny! I've always had a bit of an interest in the Canon Cat. I think a good working one is out of my budget. :-)
