One source for manuals on older Tek scopes is:

	Mr. Dean Kidd
	27270 SW Ladd Hill Road
	Sherwood OR 97140
	USA

He's a retired Tektronix engineer with a large stock of manuals for the
older Tek equipment.  I bought a manual for a Tek 475 'scope from him
earlier this year - fair price ($30 for an original manual in good
condition), quick delivery.  Much less expensive than the $100 which
Tektronix wanted for a photocopy of the manual.

I suggest that you mail him a letter with a want-list, and a couple of
IRCs to cover the postage for his reply.
