That's my good friend Jim Williams, a self-taught engineer who became the world's greatest analog applications guru (in my opinion). Here's a 10-minute video of him repairing the Tek 465B scope belonging to Tom Osborne, another friend of mine and the guy responsible for developing the calculator that would become the HP 9100.

Jim died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage back in 2011. Here's a very short private video I staged with him at his bench wishing someone in Scotland who was a big fan a happy birthday. That's what Jim was like. Very, very big-hearted. He died very soon after making this video.
