The Polaroid camera for the Tek 'scope was pretty cool. And the comments about the Simpson 260 made me feel good about finding one at a recent hamfest, but I don't think mine is an extremely rare Model 2.

While we are all familiar with the 88 to 108 MHz FM broadcast band today,
its origins can be traced back to 1936 with the very first experimental

Before storage scopes, scope cameras were used to capture one shot events. The Tek C 59 camera for 7000 series scopes was common, and I used one frequently in troubleshooting pressure spikes in hydraulic systems, where pressures were destroying O-rings in control valves. I used piezoelectric shock accelerometers designed for use in gun and cannon barrel testing to measure the peak pressures encountered in the hydraulic system, whereas a suitable material was found to withstand the system pressures.
