My name is Robert/Rob, and my wife's name is Jacqueline/Jackie. We enjoy collecting, using, calibrating, and archiving test equipment and TE related materials. One of our favorite hobbies is archiving old software, especially Tektronix software from the 80's and 90's. We've been trying to scoop up 80's/90's era Tektronix software that's missing from archival from online sellers. It's imperative someone is doing this because these disks are rare and dying. Some of the acquisitions are already corrupted! We have uploaded some of the collection to the internet archive. More is on the way. We will be adding what we have and anything else we might do with Tektronix gear like repairs and/or mods.

We have a small collection of Tektronix gear that we are trying to build into a wide range of Tektronix equipment for a living calibrated museum! So far mostly DSA602A/11k Series stuff, tons of plugins and 11k probes. 1230 with probes. 1240 probes. We have a DAS9200 in the middle of being rebuilt. We have some TLA700 series stuff too. Logic analyzers are cool! We also have various other Tektronix equipment, like TLA700 CRT, CMC251 Frequency Counter, WFM90 Waveform monitor, MTX100 MPEG Recorder and Player, TDS210 oscilloscope.

One of our favorite things is having working and calibrated machines. We are really into metrology! Bring on the calibration fixtures!
