The Tektronix 465 oscilloscope, used by Al Alcorn in the genesis of the original Pong and later lent to Steve Wozniak for his work on the Apple II, is now up for sale for $135,000. This instrument, manufactured from 1972 to the early 1980s, holds historical importance as it played a role in two seminal moments in technology. While it may be beyond the reach of most, it is hoped that the oscilloscope will find its way into a museum to preserve the story of these developments and that Alcorn will profit from its sale.
