Around 1980, I used a 4051 day in, day out.
It always seemed like a friend. Another department
had a 9825A. I poked at it a few times, but found
it quite impenetrable.

Well, yes, around here (Portland, OR) at least. I see them in estate sales
now and then and have been offered a few for free . . . but with 1500
instruments already, I just don't have the space to store them. I do have a
4052 that I made space for with several nice peripherals like external tape
drive and X-Y plotter. I just have made it a point NOT to collect 4000
series stuff.

I don't blame you. It can get huge. OTOH, I'd love to bring up
a 4081 -- someplace other than here.

Well, if anyone ever offers you a 4041(GPIB controller), Stan, check if it has a working boot tape with it. And if it does, then grab it and send it on. I'll be very happy to fix you up for all costs! Been chasing a boot tape for mine for a year or two now! I'd love to get a keyboard for it as well (It's a Tek special) but I think they are in rocking horse excrement land though.

Hi Dave,



You caught me red-handed! I actually DO have a few 4000 series instruments
I did not admit to. I have at least two 4041's and a bunch of tapes but I
don't know if I have a boot tape or not. How would I know it was the right
thing if I had it in my hand? I have a bunch of Tek keyboards, too, but,
again, I'm not sure one of them (or more) is for the 4041 . . .
