Cossorscope 1076 80MHz model? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi!

In the back of my "Radio And Electronic Laboratory Handbook", first 1961 edition with a yellow dust jacket, in the advertisements at the back, there's an advertisement for an 80MHz "Cossorscope Model 1076"–

https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...201076&f=false

Pages 561 and 562 of this:–

Does anybody know anything about this and has any bookwork ever surfaced about this model?

It looks to be clone of a Tek 547a or similar, it's advertised as having the same "beam direction indicator" neons as the Tek models have!

Curious. Looks like a re-imagining of the Tek 536 X-Y scope but with higher bandwidth. I like especially the "light weight, only 104lb" claim!

104 lb - Gordon Bennett! That's only 6lb less than a DST100! So it's very much a two-man-carry job.

Hi Chris

Perhaps you could find out about my Cossor 1059

Pictures in #6 of threat below

https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...ighlight=Scope.

It predates the 1076 but also has a number of features including weight!

Cheers

I had a look in my Cossor test equipment folder couldn't find the 1076 scope other than advertising material but did find the handbook for the 1083 Plug in.

I may still more, I have hundreds of unsorted documents

the 1083 is described as a Calibrated delay unit for the 1076

If the document follows other Cossor document numbering its dated 1961

Cheers
