"Oscilloscopes - Selecting and restoring a Classic"
by Stan Griffith, Softcover, ISBN 0-9633071-5-0
Stan wrote the Tektronix bible. Description of all tube scopes and tips for service and restauration will give you basic knowledge. He also serves suggested prices and recommendations for buyers. Little complaint: I think all tube scopes are for collector's only - look for a nice solid-state scope if you want to work with it. Please look at Stan's and Bill den Beste's Homepage:
