I wonder how long it would have taken to debug this back in 1960

  Probably half the time or less since the people working on it would be more familiar with debugging these sorts of systems.

    Yes, I expect field engineers back in the 1960s would have found the problem much faster than we did. They had oscilloscopes and test equipment, so we don't have much advantage there. They would be much more familiar with the system and wouldn't need to keep looking stuff up like we did. Plus, they would be motivated by anxious customers breathing down their necks demanding a quick fix.

      I think the digitizing oscilloscope is quite an advantage compared to the old stuff ;)
