If you have the opportunity, I would strongly recommend visiting the vintageTEK Museum whose site this is on (it's just outside Portland) sometime. Many of the folks working there are retired from Tektronix themselves and the amount of (working!) equipment they have is astounding.
Yes! I went there on my first trip to Portland last year for work.
It was mesmerizing to look at all the beautiful equipment and meet all the cool people there. I've forgotten his name, but I spent at least one hour with an ex-Tektronix employee who started his career with tubes and ended it with writing FPGA code who told me many wonderous stories from his career. Highly recommended if you're at all into electronics!
