Emboldened by a detailed review in Rider's monumental "Encyclopedia on 
Cathode-Ray Oscilloscopes ..." (1959, second ed.), a 4" thick 9x12 
booster seat, which I've been reading for about two years now ... 
(thanks, N3RHT Don!!), I fired the subject up ... not much joy, but at 
least I didn't release any smoke ...

All the tubes checked as new, but the -150 bias sply voltage is whacko: 
  it reads -110 volts too high (-265v), so it's no surprise I don't get 
meaningful output ...

But the unit's in clean condx, nothing broken (except the bi-pin pilot 
lamp's burned out) or smashed up, and it has the heated crystal oven 
and an original Tektronix manual with the blue covers.

How's about $50 plus shipping?  This "display rack for miniature tubes" 
will be a nuisance to ship, as ever' dang tube will have to be pulled 
and padded separately!
