My e-mail reply bounced, but this info should be of general interest.

For all you folks looking for Tektronix oscilloscope manuals, old CRTs,
etc., there is a retired Tek engineer who has quite a stock of old Tek
manuals and such:

Deane Kidd
27270 Ladd Hill Road
Sherwood, Oregon 97140
(503) 625-7363

Deane worked at Tek for 40 years, and was the guy in charge of telling 
the rest of us we hadn't done it right yet.  He is taking care of the old
stuff because he thinks that is part of doing it right  (you can decide for
yourself what current Tek corporate policy is).  He is probably as much to
thank as anyone for the old - but still usable - Tek equipment that you 
folks are trying to scrounge parts and manuals for.  If not for him, the
stuff would have fallen apart a long time ago.

Deane sells this old stuff as a labor of love, and he isn't getting rich
doing it.  If you think his prices are too high, or that he doesn't act
like a "real businessman", you don't have to do business with him.  If
you are a connoisseur of classic instrumentation, be glad to have an 
opportunity to deal with one of the men that made it happen.
