OK, all you guys with Tek 31s out there. What color
are they supposed to
be? Mine is black but there is blue paint showing through the scratchs on
the case. The only pictures that I have of them are black and white so I
can't tell what color they're supposed to be.
The ones Hans and I got are a deep blue. No paint. Its the original
surface.
The front panel where the Tektronix 31 name is
supposed to be doesn't
look like it was repainted but there's no logo on mine. Instead there is a
red and white medalion that says "Survey 31/300" and "ESCO". The
medalion
appears to be smaller than the original Tek logo so I don't think it's
covering up the logo.
I don't remember that much detail.
Do any of you have overlays for the LH keyboard? I
have two, one is
plastic and was made by ESCO. The other is aluminium and was made by
Tektronix and says that it's a User Definable Overlay but someone (ESCO?)
has painted titles into all the blocks. Both overlays are marked up for
survey work.
One of ours has an overlay but I can'r remember if it is plastic or not.
It does have spots for custom buttons I believe.
