Tektronix didn't go bust. It was acquired for $2.8b in 2007 with 4,000 employees and is now part of an umbrella corporation that trades as NYSE:FTV.

Their scopes are still for sale and still good.



You're right, I thought I'd remembered they'd gone bust.

> part of an umbrella corporation

meaning their former glory is gone. When I was starting out Tektronix was a very big deal in computers and electronics. I haven't even heard their name in 20-30 years.


You're right too. Their former glory is gone, I never knew how much bigger they were before until I looked up more of their history today.
