Tektronix C-30?

[Kevin Roach]

What the heck is this?

Looks like there may be some parts useful for camera construction. It's hard to tell what size it is though. Does it have a graflock back? lens? a useful bellows?

No idea, but you could use it as is to scare the folks who are sitting for portraits. Could lead to some interesting shots.

Oscilloscope camera...

I'm guessing that's why the title of the auction is "CAMERA FOR OSCILLOSCOPE"

I have about half of one of those in my basement. I picked it up at auction thinking I could make it into a camera, but never have. It's designed to work with a very specific shutter, I think, which goes in that mddile section with the blue stripes. The first stripe is marked with shutter speeds, the other with aperatures. I am not sure what size the hole is, but there is no place on mine for a lensboard. The auction looks like it includes a 3x4 Polaroid back, but mine does not include the part which connects to that, so I can't tell you about the interface.
