I first used one when I was 10 or 11, in my sister’s freshman physics lab.
(Physics 110 at UBC, probably fall 1970.)

I remember that it had delayed sweep , and wasn’t anything too fancy
otherwise, so it was probably a 522 or something like that. (The lab
session was about learning how to use the scope, which was pretty cool.)
