I got the following email from a previousTektronix Support Engineer.
Located in Belgium. He does want some money for the stuff, not just
giving it away. There are some interesting items available so I hope
someone on his side of the pond can make a deal. I did get his permission
to post it here, so go at it.

Dear Sirs ,
Are you interested in acquiring following computer stuff at a fair
reasonable price ?
It concerns :
Two Tektronix scientific graphic computers 4052 full
options.
All the user manuals and service manuals.
The hardware diagnostic ROM set with manual.
Thereby several boxes with original spare parts and firmware rom sets
and memory
chips.
All the replacement boards from the service department
, exception a
display-board.
A couple of MAGTAPE interchangable read/write units.
12 brandnew magtape cardridges.
Both 4052 do work. A brand new spare 4052 CRT is also available.
A Tektronix "CPM/86" computer model 4170 with options F30 and F31.
The 4170 has 5 optional RS232 connectors to interface whatever RS232
devices.
There is a RS232 connector for the main video terminal
like the
Tektronix 4208
and one RS232 for connection with a host computer.
A 20 Mbyte HARDDISK drive is build-in. A spare 20 Mbyte drive is also
available.
The harddisk contains all the support software.
Lots of 5-1/4 inch large floppys with the CPM operating system and
FORTRAN +
graphic Libraries.
Utilities like "KERMIT"is present as well as
the "TEKNICAD"
application (Say , TEK's equivalent to AutoCad).
The 4170 wheighs 23 Kilo's = 46 Lbs.
The dimentions are 60 X 60 X 23 cm = 0,6 x 0,6 X 0,23 meters.
To complete the story , I have 3 (three) graphic terminals Tektronix
model 4208
with keyboards.
The complete set of original service microfilms (98
views per sheet)
INCLUDING the Optical microfilmviewer.
The microfilm is about hardware, the options, the
"cpm" OS ,
fortran86 +Libs , and all the application software
and libraries of the 4170. All technical schematics as
well
As extra I offer free of charge a graphic color workstation monitor
(20"-SONY , 1280 x 1024).
This color monitor can be connected to any DB15 VGA
connector of any
PC ( R G B H V)
I used to work as support engineer for Tektronix.
Tell me if you are interested for this stuff.
Sincere Greetings, Florent Van Vlasselaer. Belgium.
