Mike/K5MGR:
There are two tektronix user groups
where you could offer to sell (or give away) the Tek manuals:
Tekscopes, and Tekscopes2.? There's also a Tektronix museum in
Oregon that might accept the manuals, and there are some Tekscopes
and/or Tekscopes2 group users that have in the past scanned copies
of Tektronix manuals for free, or paid, distribution to group
members.? So don't set a match to them!
The Tekscopes and Tekscopes2 user
groups are very active, something like 7000+ members in total.?
They deal with all items Tektronix, not just oscilloscopes.

Hello
everyone !
I have recently acquired in a box of mostly Tektronix
manuals (for which I’m also looking for a home) a Johnson
Viking I transmitter manual.
It even has the un-numbered page with instructions about how
to connect the transmitter to drive “a larger modulator” – a
page Johnson inserted between pages 8 and 9.
It's clearly mimeographed, and the pages are light tan, no
longer white. The cover has a picture of the transmitter and
the typical Johnson red-orange bands across the top and
bottom.? It says that it’s CATALOG 705, but the insides are
clearly a manual.? Only the top two pages, which are printed
on glossy stock, appear to be from a/the catalog, so someone
apparently stapled the relevant two pages from the catalog
onto and as the front pages of the aging mimeographed Viking
I manual.
It also has a page of handwritten notes about how to tune up
the transmitter.
I don’t have a Viking I – I have a Valiant and a Navigator,
so I don’t need this manual.
So, it’s free to a good home.
If you have a Viking I and would like this manual, please
let me know and I’ll send it to you. First responder gets
it.
No cost – I just can’t bear to throw away equipment manuals!
Now if you know someone who’d like a cardboard file box full
to Tektronix manuals, please tell me.? I’m trying to keep
them out of the landfill, too!
