Their scopes are still for sale and still good.
- WalterBright 4y agoYou're right, I thought I'd remembered they'd gone bust. > part of an umbrella corporation meaning their former glory is gone. When I was starting out Tektronix was a very big deal in computers and electronics. I haven't even heard their name in 20-30 years.
- Nick87633 4y agoYou're right too. Their former glory is gone, I never knew how much bigger they were before until I looked up more of their history today.
