Picked this scope up recently.  It looks like it's a Millen 5 inch wanna be scope.  Who made it and is there a schematic / manual available

I have a new in box Millen scope amp / sweep unit that may work on it

Thanks, Al

The knobs look like GR knobs, but don't think GR ever made scopes.

Looks kind of unfinished. All those 12ax7s have fils hooked up but apparently little else.
Hor. and vert amps ?

Oh well,
CRT ok hopefully.

Instead of unfinished, I suggest stripped for re-purposing.

Looks like an in-house built equipment, part of acquisition system of old if the Memory connector means anything. Possibly part of a military and or research program. Singer used CRT bezels like that a very long time ago. I would like a peek at whatever refrigerator-sized "memory" went with it. Could have been "Russian Memory Device" a chart recorder.

I have many similar items in my collection. Beware you may become a CRT fiend!

The black transformer is just for the CRT filament insulated to a high negative voltage. If it is still the 5UP1, depending, it may have run on a low voltage in there like 1500 with the cathode very negative and the deflection plates at the anodes of one of those 12AX7s, a couple hundred volts positive. Usually there is a separate small HV rectifier tube like a 2X2 when the voltage is any more. 5UP1 is an easy to use tube.

From the numbers for the tubes, and the front panel being screened (?) labels, it would need to be commercial, or at least from the proto shop of a mfr... I'd agree from the photos that this has been stripped
and parts removed.

Is there a HV supply there?

Does the silver label on the big transformer say anything interesting??

Neat find, but what in the world could you use it for??
Would make a neat "scope clock" - fwiw.
