I'll never use an oscilloscope again

It does sometimes happen that you can see the video picture on an oscope waveform.

It can happen with a simple picture like the station call letters when the scene lighting is such that the left of the picture is brighter then the right , and you have the scope set to the V rate.

or something like that,

it is eerie.

Some simple hand drawn cartoons would do that on a waveform monitor
at the AFRTS TV station zi worked at in the '70s. I saw 'Quickdraw
McGraw walk across the screen of a Tektronix RM529 more than once. :)

That was movie, this was a short Sci-Fi story whose name & Author I
can't recall. I now think that it was from the 40s.

I recall hearing about KillDozer but never saw the movie...

Theodore Sturgeon. Short Story, same name, and the basis of the movie.

Nope, not that story.

This had toasters, cars, buses all becoming 'aware' and deciding to
destroy the enemy (humans). Perhaps KillDozer was based on the original
story. It (the original short story) is buried in my books that are
still boxed up when I moved houses five years ago. Possibly written by a
one-time author.

There are never enough bookshelves!
