I don't know of any machine that will drive them other Tektronix
machines. However there is a Tektronix 4041 for sale on E-bay right
now. The last time that I checked, the price was still cheap. In case
you're not familar with it, the 4041 is shoebox sized computer that's
usually used as an HP-IB instrument controller. They have a 68000 CPU and
run BASIC. They don't have a screen or keyboard but use a terminal
instead. Once they're programmed they're usually run with no terminal
attached. They do have a very small LED display and a few keys on the
front in order to input Yes/No, numbers and other minimal
information. They also have a built in tape drive and can auto-load
programs in a stand alone mode.

I reciently inherited a rather stout Tektronix

own stand and appears very solidly built. This machine is the classic
green storage tube phospher (Remember Battlestar Galactica?).
I used one of these in college many years ago and was wondering if there
were any libraries for cpm era machines I might be able to use to drive
the graphic modes of this ancient terminal.
