SBE Optiscan. Purchased in late 70's. Issues after several years of operation with the light sensing components. This was a scanner that used a card inserted into front of scanner witch you peeled small stickers off the card to select frequencies. SBE had there own cards and some homebrew engineering with corn flake box card board and a paper punch provided unlimited source of programming cards.
One of the first things I purchased when I started my current job over 36 yrs ago. Plugged it in last year just to watch the lights roll and remember the years of watching and waiting for calls and the excitement brought forth. This could go on and on but keeping it short for intended thread content I will end now.
