Movie Scopes (and other T&M-Props a little bit "out of place" :) )
SaabFAN:
I can't help but notice that Philips Scopes seem to be the go to-items when it comes to fill laboratories in movies and TV-Shows.
Yesterday I was watching a video with the most memorable Q-Moments from James Bond and noticed a PM3350 (or smiliar) Combiscope in one scene.
Got me thinking that they pop up fairly often or at least stick out more than others.
From memory I've got these so far:
- Analog Scope made by Philips in Stargate Atlantis Episode (the one with the asteroid-base from the second season, I believe).
- PM335x Combiscope in:
* James Bond Movie from the 80s
* Netflix-Movie Spectral
* At least one more movie that I just can't place right now
What Scopes or other T&M-Equipment have you noticed in movies or TV-Shows? Or games - In GTA 5 there's at least one Scope that looks kinda like a low end TDS-Scope from around the mid 2000s :)

Looked at Spectral again - Kinda goofy lab with random equipment and non-connected Scopes that double as control-monitors for crazy lasers, 40€ Bench Power Supplies from ebay in Super High Tech Death-Ray developing lab, Closeup-Shots of Combiscope from the 80s in lab in the near future.
Funniest part is when the protagonist turns the timebase-knob and thereby turns the laz0r on that melts a block of ice ;D

Not T&M gear but still made me cringe: https://youtu.be/XGdbaEDVWp0?t=52s - those tape decks don't... uh... have a vacuum column and I love the random A/V gear they put into the "computer room" as props...

I was surprised by a spectrum analyzer inside a van in “The Wire”
And in a hideous Spanish TV series called “El Barco” the radio transceiver was actually a digital multimeter. With the visible legend even!
