STAN GRIFFITHS IS NOT DEAD, Topic was "Stan Griffith's Resource Site"

Where did you get this mis-information??? I was at his house and had a fine talk with him 3 weeks ago. He looked pretty alive then. He walked, he talked, and I saw him eat some food. Those are behaviors that are usually not associated with the dead. Kurt Rosenfeld was there on Friday and Stan sold Kurt a Tek 537 scope. That is definitely not the behavior of a dead man. An interesting detail about the 537: it isn't listed in any Tek Catalog. I am on the Ex-Tek email reflector. The "Ex" in Ex-Tek indicates they are "no longer a Tek Employee", and does NOT mean they are deceased. My best Ex-Tek friend does the obituaries for the Ex-Tek reflectors (there are two) and he has heard nothing about Stan's passing. He will call Stan tomorrow. I will see him a little later. The web site that was referred to as Stan's was actually a collaboration between Stan and Bill Den Beste and Bill did the technical end of it. I believe it is Bill that lost interest in maintaining the web site. Dennis Tillman W7PF -----Original Message----- -- Dennis Tillman W7PF TekScopes Moderator |

Would it be possible to ask them if they could make available the "database" of information behind the CRT part numbers vs scope models web page? If entered into a spreadsheet or even a text document, it would be searchable.

I expect the information is contained in the recently uploaded Tektronix RPR for 154- Vacuum Tubes scan, but that isn't searchable. It might be possible to OCR it, but even if the characters are recognised correctly, tables are often a problem. On 30/09/18 06:28, Dennis Tillman W7PF wrote:

Since Stan probably laboriously extracted the CRT database information from that document, why do you not do it and make the information available? Craig |

It is conceivable, but I don't like *unnecessarily* reinventing wheels - especially if I make an elliptical wheel.

Given the number of other family issues on my plate at the moment, there's no chance I can do it soon. On 30/09/18 08:04, Craig Sawyers wrote:
