Wow! Nice job on restoring the plastics!
When I get round to it I'll dump the EEPROM from my TX3 and post it here.
It isn't really a TX3 dump you need, no matter the dump you may be better or worse off than now. Your voltage measurements could be closer if you're lucky but you could also end up worse off on other functions.
The correct way to do things would be going through the software assisted adjustment procedure.
I'm pretty confident there are a couple of people around that know the procedure and have the software, I tried asking on Tektronix@groups.io without much luck.
The more painful option is identifying memory locations in EEPROM for each adjustment and tweaking them by trial and error until gathering enough understanding of gain and offset.

Thank you. I had no problem removing the old paint with an IPA and a soft cloth. I have a friend who prints various pictures on T-shirts, lighters and other items, so he made the print that can be seen in the picture, because of the equipment he has it was difficult to make a print at the area between keys and the rotary switch, so we will do it with stickers...I don't know why but I just love this instrument, it's simple and yet it has all the functions I need in working with electronics. And I believe that there are people who know the calibration process or even who could share information about which items in the eeprom file should and how they should be changed for certain measuring areas... It would be a shame if such old classics became useless...

Finally found a good enough excuse to drag the TX3 out and dump the 25LC160 contents.
Still looking for the calibration commands over infrared. Anyone?

I took some high resolution photos of my Tektronix TX3 PCB.
These are aligned, you can overlay them and do some tracing.
