Mostly anyway. There seem to be some rather weird/confusing custom configs. Need to read the manual, set it back to defaults.
Not easy to use like this, the buttons keep creeping off center.
TerraHertz: putting the bits back together will go reasonably well if you use the liquid styrene plastic model cement from a hobby shop. It’s typically methyl ethyl ketone or trichloroethylene, if it is available in Oz. MEK works best but it’s not available worldwide these days.
Had a similar problem on an HP E3640A, not as smashed as yours but it did go back together with minimal scaring.
MEK not available you say? Here's my plastics repair kit:

4 L of MEK and glass syringe with fine needle. And G-clamps, tape, etc.
The supplier was out of stock of screw-top tins when I bought that, darnit. So paint tin it was. I must find a screw top tin, that thing is a pain to open. And wow, the evaporation rate! On the plus side, bulk MEK is remarkably _pretty_. Hard to describe, but it is.
The bent metalwork is all straightened out now. It remains to be seen how many plastic fragments are missing.
Edit to add: A couple more things arrived. After the box of fragments, I've got a box of air, and a box of nCoV.
The first is a module extender for a HP 83480 scope. Yes I finally bought some actual plugins for this -

The second is one of those fake Agilent USB HP-IB interfaces, from China.
