Salvaged from a "grand-daddy" valve oscilloscope - a Taylor Model 31A
Taylor Electrical Instruments were a designer & manufacturer of test equipment in England
The company was purchased by AVO in 1958 and eventually AVO (which was purchased by Metal Industries in 1959) was purchased by Thorn Industries. A lot of structural changes were occurring in the electronics industry at this time.
The equipment dates from the early 1950's! see the photograph to view this ugly beast in all its former glory.
After evaluation, I decided that full restoration of this Taylor scope was not a viable project so this is one of the parts I have removed.
These sockets were used on many vintage, British professional test equipment of the day back in the 1950's and on. These would be useful for a restoration project where it is desired to provide authentic replacement panel mounting sockets.
