Deane is MR. Tektronix. I doubt there's anyone in the country that has as many
parts and docs for the Tektronix has he does. Deane worked for Tektroninx for about 40
years and must have been collecting parts and manuals the whole time! If he doesn't
have it then you're not likely to find it.

Argh, my main scope is a Tek 2213... though I still use my hp1980
sometimes.
How do you like the 1980? I've thought about picking one up just to play with the
HP-IB control and data aquisition. I think I have some HP software here somewhere for the
1980 but I don't remember what system it runs on.
I've since located a source for the special
P6120 probes, and am now in
the process of buying them. I have not yet located the Service/Operators
manual(s).
I have a photocopy of the operator's manual. At some point I was
also looking for the service manual and I found a message in the
archives of some high-frequency hobbyist mailing list (which
I can't find now, but I have a hard copy).
They referred the person who was asking about this to
Deane Kidd, W7TYR, ex-TeK employee, and who runs a business
supplying manuals for older TeK scopes. The contact info:
Deane Kidd, 27270 S.W. Ladd Hill Rd., Sherwood, OR 97140,
(503) 625-7363 .
