These are now surplus items at "The Blackhole"

These are pulse generator power supplies made for Los Alamos National Labs. You can purchase them at the Surplus Shop referred to as "The Blackhole". Some ham radio operators desire them due to the voltages the power supply provides.

How can I express my gratitude?

| show fullshow summary

I cannot express how jubilant, and sad, I felt when I started browsing the classicTek website.

I remember my first face-to-face encounter with a Tektronix oscilloscope, the Tektronix 535:

After a day of sightseeing back in 1964, my uncle and his girlfriend invited me to visit a friend they knew that was working as a television technician for CMQ television station in Havana, Cuba. Almost at the end of the tour, my uncle asked his friend for a tour of the technical department. Moving through a maze of corridors and stairs we finally reached aur destination. Once we were led in, I noticed three individuals gathering around and staring at a huge metal box - for some reason this huge metal box was attracting more than my curiosity. Seconds later my eyes were wide open gazing at the front of the huge metal box. A huge metal box designed by perhaps the best engineers in the World; engineers working for a company that would become so important in my life in the years to come,...

A huge metal box designed by perhaps the best engineers in the World; engineers working for a company that would become so important in my life in the years to come, Tektronix.

That encounter was 45 years ago and I can still vividly remember it as if it were yesterday.

The only thing I can say to everyone that worked for Tektronix during the company’s pioneering days is Thank You.

Sincerely,

Rolando Govantes.

Jim Strickland - Jim died in a motorcycle accident on the way to work one morning around 1969 while I was in FE training. I think he was in Product Technical Information, or PTI. Still a vivid memory 40 years later.
