    On YouTube you find this very well done explanation about the principle of strobe tuners including the Conn Strobotuner. We have to know that for a longer time Strobotuners used radio tubes, like the Strobotuner ST-2, ST-4, Strobotuner ST-6 or St-8 from 1958.

    The first Strobotuner was invented by Conn and called Ctroboconn and came on the market in 1936.

    Joseph Plateau of Belgium is generally credited with the invention of the stroboscope in 1832, when he used a disc with radial slits which he turned while viewing images on a separate rotating wheel. Plateau called his device the "Phenakistoscope". There was a simultaneous and independent invention of the device by the Austrian Simon von Stampfer, which he named the "Stroboscope"
