  Mike H has the service manual for the 4051 along with ALL the other
manuals for it including some internal use manuals for some prototype ROMs
(HP-IB bus analyzer, some kind of imaging sensor and some other stuff that
I don't remember). I gave them to him along with my 4051. Another real
INTERESTING item that he has is a programmer's front panel that plugs into
the 4051. They talk about it in the service manual. You might want to try
and borrow it from him and reverse engineering it. I don't think it was
very complicated.

    I'll look for manuals for the 8650 and related items when I get over to
my friend's place but it might be a couple of weeks.

   Mike also has some manuals for the Tektronix 8002 (I think that was the
right number).
