content: Well, they have taken a supremely innovative company like Tektronix, and starved them of R&D to create new products and instead focus on scamming people with 10 year old technology because they purchase Tektronix and that's what they always have purchased.

content: Does a Tek type 526 vectorscope count? I also have a 7834 storage with 4 plugins, but I don't think that would count... too "new"

content: I have a Tek 503 and a 535 box of bulbs. Also a clone of a 545 made by Hickok which I'm wondering if I should part it out or restore it.http://w140.com/tekwiki/wiki/HickokThe 535 was used in a movie I was in because the director loved all the knobs, but I think it ended up on the editing room floor.
