Rare Post-War British Technology & Industrial Collectible
Up for sale is a remarkably compact piece of historical test equipment: a vintage late 1940s / early 1950s General Electric Company (GEC) Miniscope Miniature Cathode Ray Oscilloscope. This is the highly collectible Model BW 419 / Catalogue No. M861B.
Manufactured in England, these unique instruments were a marvel of miniaturisation for their era, designed specifically as portable diagnostic tools for travelling post-war radio, audio, and television technicians.
