TV’s Mr. Wizard Demo’s Tek Scope on NBC TV
A Story that explains the background and filming of the movie Ask Mr Wizard, The Oscilloscope was published in TekWeek July 21, 1961. Rick LeForge, Field Engineer at Tek's Long Island office, was present at the show rehearsals in New York City.
Mr. Wizard was a half hour telecast each Saturday afternoon. His program was geared to 9-14 year old age group, although the weekly mail indicates that over 50 percent of the viewers are adults. Be patient if you watch the show in our Video Gallery, the Tek 545/CA appear later in the program.
It was pointed out by a test viewer that the Video posted on the site in the Video Gallery was improperly coded somewhere along the conversion process. When watching it the sound and video are mismatched somehow. The Tek 545 does show up during the program however.
