I have a TEK611 I'll probably be willing to part with when I dig it
out in a few months.
Paul, or Bruce, or whatever.....

This monday the Tek has finally arrived.
There was no real function, it seemed that only the flood system was
working. Measured something here and there and found an non working OPV
in the HV Circuit (?709),
Wow, I haven't seen one of those in a while!
replaced it but still not working.
Finally decided to desolder the wires from the HV Transformer to heater
from the wirting gun and measured no connection. O shit.!

Dismounted the fan on the back and looked inside
towards the tubes socket,
...hmm crooked???? Pulled on the wires and the socked was loose.
I've found some bent Pins on the tube strigthened them carefully and took
the socket back in Place, switched on the Power and voila! The tube
pictured the test spiral...
Excellent!!
The Tube has some small burns, but really
isn't that bad. I think I'll
never see another Tek 6110 Storage Tube, so that thing must work as is.
(or has someone another in stock and wants to sell it into a good home?)
I have a "basket case" 611 here. It was raped for parts. Since I
recently got a copy of the documentation (thanks Richard!) I can now dig
into it and see what's missing. I hope to be able to repair it, but if
it's not repairable, I may not have much reason to keep it. (If it uses
the same CRT as my Tek 4012 terminal, which I think it might, then I'd
probably keep it for that reason.)
I think tests with the PDP11 and D/A converters
have to wait until winter,
thats getting too much warmt in here...
You'll have to take a lot of pics of that!
