I did look at an R&S HM8118 a while back but had to resist because of the price. The problem with really large old equipment is I have a finite amount of space in my lab/office...
A tek 465B corpse I got rid of over a year ago with a working unit came back again. Have distributed some of its organs to the worthy.

People buy corpses to turn them into mules. Just check on the selling prices of some knobs and pots/switches/clarostats located near the corner. But I'm sure you know that Now, should I sell that working-but-spare CRT
I'll have a look for that thread and post it.The panel is immaculate as it had the cover on it when I got it. Unfortunately the rest of the unit was in a right state as the pevious owner left it in a shed for a decade. The document/probe pocket had mushrooms in it to give you an idea.
All started at high school: I just couldn't resist to hear the professor lecturing, so I picked up an oscilloscope manual and started reading about it...
Those solartron connectors are buggers. For what it's worth, they're Fischer 104 series.
One day at a time...
I fell off the wagon today and bought a GwInstek GPD-3303S power supply. Prices on eBay have come down with a flood of these from the ITT auctions.
I just counted and realized I own 10 working PSUs - mostly vintage HP and PD supplies

If yours is the one where the binding posts for channel 3 are further away from channel 1 than channel 1 is from channel 2, then you're probably OK. If all the binding posts are the same distance apart from one another, you may have an overshoot issue with channel 3. There are a couple of threads about it.Edit: Just saw your post in the "scores" thread. It looks like you got one of the OK ones. You might want to double-check it before connecting anything voltage sensitive to channel 3.
Received new package today... Just 500 gramms...what that could be?
I resistively opened it. Nop, not a standard, something much more fun! Hint: it will involve need of oscilloscope
