Hi Dave,
Rick Bensene seems to be the expert on the Tektronix 31s. I think he has
a section on his website about them. He used to work for Tektronix. FWIW I
have three Tek 31s NIB! Had a fourth one labeled as a (mumble) Survey
Calculator but I got rid of it.
OH I think Sellam had some kind of docs for the T31s too but I doubt he's
been able to find them.

Hi Guys,
Just picked up an Tektronix Model 31 desktop calculator. This is a
fairly old (early 70s) desktop programmable with built in tape storage
and printer.
Looking for information/documenation on it - all I got was the bare
unit (which looks to be in good shape).
Also got a stack of circuit boards from an Olivetti Programma 101
(early 60s) as well as the general reference manual and some programming
sheets - unfortunately the machine itself was "taken apart" many years ago
and this is all that remains - the boards are very interesting and worth
keeping on their own, as they utilize discrete resistor/transistor logic
modules. However, if someone on this list has a Programma 101 in need of
parts, I would rather see them used to heal a whole machine instead of
sitting on my shelf as curiosities.
Regards,
Dave
PS: Also picked up a "MicroWat" - 6809 based computer built by the University
of Waterloo in Canada - if anyone has info please contact me.
