My 4051 is down at the moment, it seems to be just a minor supply issue but I will get you the demo files.
I really think the 4051 users are a really lose knit group out here. Since I bought mine a few years back at that auction site for divorce prices, I have met maybe half a dozen users,owners. I used to work at Tek, and I know the VintageTek guys, they have one. There is an ad-on, created by a Tek, called FASTGRAPHICS, that did two things: write to the display at a reduced current, so the storage tube acted like a normal scope, and the writes did not persist A dramatic speed up in the vector draw, that I think outruns the bit-slice 4052 I think Brad Sebrink (wrote the 4051 emulator for the PC) was looking to glue us together with a user's group. Nothing happened, because there is probably only 10 of us. Surprise me, prove me wrong. Hello Brad, you still want to create a group?

Do the files/programs necessary to create the Battlestar Galactica displays exist anywhere? I’m also in search of a copy of the TekWeek that has the article on Battlestar Galactica. As I recall they used $3 Million in Tektronix hardware on the sets. My dad should still have a copy squirreled away somewhere, the trick will be finding it. Cool! It’s finally available online! https://vintagetek.org/tektronix-in-movies-shows/ Tektronix In Movies and Shows - vintageTEK Museum<https://vintagetek.org/tektronix-in-movies-shows/> vintagetek.org Tektronix equipment has been used in movies and shows. This is the earliest film we know of which features a 1952 Type 511A oscilloscope (based on the top louvers). https://vintagetek.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/BattlestarGalactica_TW_060291978.pdf The other thing the Snoopy picture reminded me of was a, if I remember correctly, National Guard exhibit at the Washington County Fairgrounds in the early 70’s. They were making computer printouts of a Snoopy picture and, I think a calendar. I’m pretty sure I have it in my archives, the trick is finding it… Zane
