I started working at Tek in 1974 so I'm familiar with some of the later instruments shown in the video. One brief segment shows a monitor that has a 3D display and I was directly involved with that project. As in, helping it make it to a viable product. It was nice to see that it's still working. The group responsible for the 3D technology had a brief fling with a commercial product, designed to work in conjunction with a pre-PC computer (the Atari ST), and I designed the driver electronics for that, along with writing some driver SW. Fun times!
They have a LOT of "paper" on all the older instruments. Have been a GREAT help to me a few times.
AND a really fun visit if you're in the Portland area.

To realize there's a museum for this... where do we come from? We're just apes, fallen from the trees.
I donated a bunch of original Tek scope parts that my employer was going to toss. They were super excited to receive them and I was happy they went to a good home.
