wanted: I/O module for HP/Agilent 546xx oscilliscopes

[Eric Smith]

I have an HP 546xx series oscilliscope, and I'd like to buy a used
interface module for it. These are the modules that plug onto the back
of the scope. I'd prefer one with a serial port, but the GPIB one would
be OK. The models I could use are:

54651A serial
54658A serial

54652B serial/parallel
54659B serial/parallel

54650A GPIB
54657A GPIB

Google turns up a lot of test equipment resellers that want seemingly
excessive prices for these things (in most cases, more than HP's new
prices).

If anyone has an interface module for sale, or can offer me a lead, I'd
greatly appreciate it.

set up a 'favorite search' with email notification on ebay for the part numbers - there is a chance
that one will crop up from someone who doesn't know what it is and it could go very cheap..
