No—but FYI, the “Additional resources” links on kera.org are all broken. Those I could find are now The History of the Integrated Circuit (nobelprize.org) Popular information Advanced physics prize 2000 PDF Jack Kilby mini-autobiography (nobelprize.org) Jack Kilby information page (Texas Instruments – ti.com)—could not find anywhere on site ...lee 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Data Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Couldn’t pass up a Jack Kilbey reference. He had good taste in O-scopes. I’m sure it’s just a prop though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed in SoDak Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 In 1958, EICO offered the model 425. I spotted the EICO 460 o'scope, same model as your second photo, in the 1962 Burnstein-Applebee catalog. Might or might not be what Jack actually used, but at least it's close to period-correct. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
