Yes, that's it! I saw a picture in the catalog and it looks like a
bell-hop bell you'd see on a hotel counter. I'm guessing that inside
its two potentiometers to measure x/y movement and joystick has a
pressure switch mounted on it for selection.

The mouse was
invented, but AFAIK Tektronix didn't start offering
products with mice until the mid-to-late 80s? They did offer a
joystick accessory for the 4051, which looks like the weirdest
joystick I've ever seen.
I think we have one of those joystick things here at the office. A
huge base with a big ball part on top, and a tiny little stick coming
out of that? And some sort of funky card connector on the end of the
cable?
