There's a weird TEK thing on ebay. I'm guessing 
that it's for displaying 3D vector stuff on a scope. 
X,Y,Z inputs and horz,vert outputs. Tilt and rotate 
controls. I tried to talk myself into bidding, but I 
just won't quite do it. Hoping I can talk someone in 
the family into buying it.

I'm claiming only SEMI-OT status, because what would 
happen if you ran audio through this? 3 signals in and 
stereo out? The more I think about it, the less 
exciting it seems. Now if tilt and rotate were 
voltage controlled...
