TEKTRONIX Oscilloscope CRT Visor Various Models

thingiverse

I own and restore many old Tektronix analog scopes, which are often difficult to use in bright light situations due to various factors such as overhead lights or direct sunlight. To address this issue, I've designed a custom shield or shade that effectively eliminates glare and ambient light from the CRT, making it easier to see even faint traces on the screen. This solution is versatile and compatible with several scope models, including the 4xx Series, 24xx Series, and 7xxx Series, as well as the Type 576 Curve Tracer. Some of these models feature a logo or model number on their top surface, which can be printed using various materials like PETG, PLA, or TPU. I've experimented with printing PETG and PLA in almost every model, and I'm now exploring the use of TPU for its flexibility. The visor clips onto the existing CRT bezel camera slots and is easy to remove when needed.
