Tektronix policy concerning old manuals

Please contact the folks at bama.sbc.edu who would likely appreciate an upload of this book; they have other Tek manuals online and we all will benefit from you efforts.

Regards,

Tektronix says it is OK. Read the section titled "Manuals for Products That Are No Longer Supported" on

If you do post them,TEK is not going to raise a big stink about it. Of course,if you ASK them,their beancounters will tell you it's not OK; an "automatic" refusal.

Not TEK, but some time ago I asked Fluke if I could post the service manual for a PM97 Scopemeter. They didn't refuse, but they didn't reply either, so I scanned and posted it anyway. BTW, they no longer supply the manual.

In my own experience with TEK,most managers typically said "no" reflexively after a question was asked of them. You could tell they didn't even consider the question before speaking. But they were always 'saying' they wanted employees to take initiative... (they were very good coming up with slogans;"talked the talk,but didn't walk the walk".)

One time,they even asked for comments when they had already predetermined their actions,and brought in Upper Management(the BIG guys) to meet with out local manager before the scheduled meeting to tell them the way it was going to be. A trap for the unwary.

I'm very surprised they posted a blanket approval for copying obsolete manuals. They must have gotten annoyed with all the requests.
