Before the days of cheap stuff from China (now including exotic viruses that cause politicians to shut down entire economies), the supply of most common items- particularly high technology - were the domain of relatively few companies. In some ways it was not entirely a bad thing because, at least theoretically, the economy of scale enabled larger producers to leverage bulk buying, well-equipped development labs and manufacturing equipment, and pooling of talent resources to sell quality products at a lower price. Of course it required that the company had serious competitors or monopolistic tendencies resulted in gouging - it's human nature, unfortunately. Hewlett Packed, as much as I appreciate what the company did for electronics test equipment, had gotten out of hand with its prices until Tektronix, Rohde & Schwarz, Fluke, Berkeley Nucleonics, Simpson, Boonton, Triplet, EICO, Bird, and even RCA began introducing similar equipment at lower prices. This 1954 advertisement shows the range of instrument types offered by Simpson Electric company. Simpson Electric Company Ad
