We provide tours on request, many of which are on closed days. Here are some photos from various requested tours from 2026.
We had a visit from science teachers who are part of the Murdock Foundation Partners In Science Program. They visited both Tektronix and the vintageTEK museum so we alternated tours to keep the size small. They were from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.
Masha and her father came to visit the museum. Her father is a telecommunications engineer and was familiar with a lot of the instruments.
Heather contacted the museum and wanted a tour for her and her two students. We spent 2 hours going through our various STEM exhibits. The girl liked the Theremin best and the boy liked Instant Art.
We hosted a tour for representatives from Tektronix distributer Denkei in Japan.
This visitor is from Utah and stopped in since they saw us listed close by. She is one of the few visitors that can actually play a Theremin.
Benedikt & Fabian visited the museum from the Tektronix Cologne office where they work in the Calibration and Repair lab.
It was a fairly long tour and Benedikt posted this on Facebook.
Gary Johnson was able to tour Aline when she visited Tektronix from another Ralliant company Hengstler Dynapar which is an European manufacturer based in Germany since 1846. Hengstler provides high-precision motion sensing and control components for industries such as robotics, factory automation, and heavy-duty machinery.
A group of Intel employees visited the museum.
Devin came up from California and made sure to stop by the museum for a visit. This was his first time to the area.
Mary setup a tour on a non-open day which was conducted by Chris Curtin. She brought out of town guests, none of which were familiar with Tektronix.
| "Chris’s tour was both in-depth and personal and we learned a lot. It was an honor to have him share these stories. We each made connections in different ways and I am hoping to bring other guests someday." |
He brought in a box of tubes that he hoped to get tested. Volunteer Matt Kamna drove home and returned with his tube tester. Once set up, he carefully explained the tests and results.
| "He said the tour was the best birthday present he could have ever asked for. He definitely enjoyed himself and we are glad he found someone who shares in his passions. Thank you again for your time as well as the other volunteers who shared their time with us." |
