Found it. Yes Tony was right.

Funny that HP came out with an 80286 PC compatible
before their 8086 based PC.

According to the HP9000 Series 300 Technical Data booklet (Feb 88,
5951-6785, from www.hpmuseum.net), at that time HP had two Vectra models in
the Series 300 lineup:
* PC-305, HP Vectra CS PC (8086)
* PC-308, HP Vectra ES/12 PC (80286)
Each contained the HP BASIC Language Processor board with a Motorola
68000 at 8MHz, 512 K RAM (expandable), BASIC 5.0 in ROM (or Pascal 3.2 on
floppy), and HP-IB & DIO interfaces.
The museum has more info on these and other Vectras.

Does anyone have the TUK50 (M7547) maintenance print set or a scan?
Not the TK50 drive print set, the real Unibus interface for the TK50.
I'd like to get a copy.
Thanks,
John
Anyone know anything about these?
Apparently they could be used as X terminals and they are essentially
diskless workstations with a 68000 inside.
There is some stuff in Richard Shuford's usenet post terminal
archives, but not much else I've seen around.
Any AT&T 3B2 owners out there have one of these in a working state?

That is the user's manual. He wanted the programming information.
CHM received a donation of some forth listings from another source about six
months ago for the CAT at various stages of development if you aren't able
to get the info you need from Stanford.
Rumor has it that Chris M may have mentioned these words:

For potentiometers & whatnot, this stuff works wonders, too:

I bought an old 0-40V 0-1.5A variable bench power supply at a garage sale
for $5.00 USD; it worked fine but the pots were *very scratchy* - couple
shots of that stuff in each one and a couple full wipes, and the rascal's
dead on again. Smooth as silk. :-)

They have creams for that now. ;-)

Seems somebody is always looking for them here. MC Howard is local
to me, and I've mentioned them here before. If you look on their
website they have a toll-free number - http://www.mchoward.com - and
they have an amazing assortment of arcane/obsolete electronic parts.
Don't pay any attention to the prices listed online. They may or may
not be current.

Believe me, I know all too well - time is probably the most valuable
commodity we don't have enough of, closely followed by space... I have a
PCB layout for an electronics project which I had prepared in January I
think that I *still* haven't done anything with because I just haven't had
any time. (Partly my own seasonal prioritising; Summer is for getting out
there with camera in hand to see as much of the world as possible, Winter
is for poring over dead bits of computer - at least that's what I'm trying
to convince myself :-).)
The offer of film was partly because it's so damn hard to get hold of
professional film these days. It's a lot easier in London than out here
in the provinces I think, but while it's certainly not yet unobtainium
going shopping for a roll of, say, TMax 400 round here is an exercise in
hope over expectation. My wife has had to come to terms with the house
not only being full of computer 'junk', but the fridge also being full of
rolls of film because I buy in bulk :-).
Anyway, I fully understand; if you do ever find the time to take those
shots, the offer is always open.

Thanks very much for the offer - I might just take you up on that! It's a
Zorki 1b with the 'standard' Industar 50mm lens; not particularly rare,
but as my first foray into rangefinders (and bottom-loaders for that
matter) I didn't want something I'd be too scared to use!
Kind regards,
Tim
