Tell ya what, I had to watch that video a few more times, couldn't believe my eyes and ears!

just got done calibrating a HP 1740A got off ebay for $30.00  been working on it for 2 days straight.

I can not find a thing replaced on it!   it looks completely original except for some damage to the CAL knobs on the volt/div   thats it.  wow!

must be a good season for old gear

Hi Bobby, Glad you like the old stuff show.  I know I do.
Sounds like you have a nice old unit there. Get the chance post up some pictures.
