I'm in the same boat, having just gotten a used Tektronix for the same
reasons just last month.
I spent an evening with it and got it to display the waveform of an
electronic tambura box (as fun to watch as it was to listen to), but it
was all trial-and-error. Outside of a few obvious controls I found a lot
of the options mystifying, and that was before a skim through the manual
left me with as many questions as answers...
For example, is there a reference standard for calibrating these things?
Or should I just send a full-strength signal out of the modular and tweak
things until the waveform fills the screen? Right now I'm not seeing
enough amplitude, and I'd rather keep an amplifier out of the input path
if I can.
Thanks for getting this ball rolling!
