Hey, Joe,
I remember seeing these test systems when I worked at Tek. As I recall
(the memories
are a bit murky) the CPU's in these test systems were indeed some OEM
form of PDP-11.
I think that Tek engineered their own front panel for the machine, but
most of the 'insides'
were pure DEC, with the exception of some additional Tek-made interface
boards that interfaced the
test system electronics to the CPU.
Can you take a picture of it and send it to me -- it might jog some
memories.
Regards,

This is a BIG box with a front panel with blinking lights
and switches. The switches are odd egg shaped things and not
the usually round or flat handled things. I think this is
some kind of PDP-11. Is was part of a Tektronix CS-3260 test
station and has a Tektronix badge on it.
