A good database of online manuals is "manx" <http://www.vt100.net/manx/>.
Searching for 4209 in Tektronix gave this:
4209 Computer Display Terminal Operator's Manual

Hi Paul,
What does it mean when manx lists a manual but there is no link? Is
that just manual data that you've entered from being cross-referenced
by other manuals?

4209 Computer Display Terminal Operator's Manual
<http://www.vt100.net/manx/details/5,5633>
However, it isn't online. I must have a copy because there is a Table of
Contents given, but finding it again would be another matter ...

Yes, that's one of three sources, the other two being other
bibliographies on the web and lists of manuals owned by me or other
classiccmpers who've inventoried their manuals. Manx does contain a
"source" field which records the reason the manual is listed, but it
isn't public because I wouldn't want people who've supplied information
on their collections being pressured to scan stuff.

Presumably manx is something you've coded on your own.
Have you considered creating a community around manx?
For instance, allowing users registered on manx to say:
i) I have/found this manual and here's the link to the PDF
ii) I have this manual and would be willing to scan upon request
iii) I'm looking for this manual, does anyone have it?
iv) Request a scan of a manual that isn't yet scanned
If your web server has PHP and MySQL, then there are lots of open
source "content management systems" out there that can supply most of
this functionality out of the box.
