The museum hosted a booth at the vintageTEK again hosted a booth at the NW Electronics Design & Manufacturing Expo (NEDME) on September 23, 2026. Volunteers Gary Johnson, Dave Brown, and Pat Green (shown in photo) and Dan Murphy and Chris Curtin staffed the booth.

The booth consisted of the Speed of Light, Table Tennis, 4052 Vector Graphics, LCD/Microscope, various CRT components, a 310 oscilloscope, and a working 581 oscilloscope with a clear cover. The 581 attracted a lot of attention as people could see the inner workings of an operating oscilloscope.

Our booth was on a great corner near the keynote stage so we had lots of visibility. We also noted that people started smiling when they saw our booth and stopped by to look or say hello.

vintageTEK again hosted a booth at the NW Electronics Design & Manufacturing Expo (NEDME) on October 22, 2025. Volunteers Pat Green, Andrew Meier, Gary Johnson, Tom Goodapple, and Dan Murphy staffed the booth.

We had a double-wide booth to show a wide variety of items representing Tektronix history and technology including an assortment of documents, manuals, and CRTs.

Among the newer exhibits is our measurement of the speed of electrons in an air dielectric. This exhibit uses the current Tektronix Series 4 oscilloscope.

vintageTEK hosted a booth at the NW Electronics Design & Manufacturing Expo (NEDME) on October 30, 2024. We displayed a 4052 DVST graphics system, 310A oscilloscope, TDS784C with a color shutter, and the original Type 101 and 511 oscilloscope. Volunteers Dave Brown and Gary Johnson setup and worked the morning shift. Volunteers Dan Murphy and Tom Goodapple worked the afternoon shift and teardown.

After a three year absence due to Covid, the NW Electronics Design & Manufacturing Expo resumed on October 18, 2023. It was again held on the Tektornix campus in building 38. vintageTEK hosted a booth again and had 7 volunteers staff the event. The booth consisted of the Type 511 oscilloscope, TDS784D oscilloscope which features the color shutter, the 4051, and various pieces from different decades showing the evolution of manufacturing technology. Shown here is the morning staff of volunteers Bob Haas, Dave Brown, Dan Murphy with Gary Johnson taking the photo. The afternoon volunteer staff was Chris Curtin, Tom Goodapple, and Pat Green.

vintageTEK hosted a booth at the NW Electronics Design & Manufacturing Expo (NEDME) on October 2, 2019.  This event started in 2003 as OctoberBest.  It is currently held on the Tektronix Campus in Beaverton and features nearly 75 exhibitors from the pacific northwest. It connects local businesses with engineers, entrepreneurs, buyers, and sales representatives. Our 6' booth this year featured Tektronix first products, the Type 101 and 511, our Oscilloscope Music exhibit, our Sony/Tek Spectrum Analyzer, a Type 310 Oscilloscope, the Type 564 Storage Oscilloscope with the Automatic plugins, and a glass and ceramic CRT. The booth was well attended and was staffed by volunteers Dick Stack, Tom Goodapple, Dave Brown, and Dan Murphy.

This was our 7th year of representing the museum at NEDME.  Our first booth was in 2013 and featured nearly 25' of space with a large assortment of instruments. We soon learned how much work it was to transport and display that much equipment.

We slimmed down our exhibits with a 12' booth that we ran through 2017. The last two years we've utilized a 6' booth which provides adequate representation of the museum with reasonable effort.
