It's great to see other people enjoying these old scopes. I generally prefer them to modern ones too, for multiple reasons. Apart from the lack of ability to save waveform images on disk.
One of the best things about this vintage of gear, is that back then the manufacturers were run by engineers, not marketing department and corporate extortionist droids. So they cared for their customers and believed the customers had a right to possess complete technical manuals, including full schematics and maintenance information.
The technical manuals from that era a wonderful thing to behold.
I just thought I'd mention, in case anyone reading this thread isn't aware of it, that it's still possible to obtain full service manuals for all these types of gear. Not just electronic copies, but actual paper originals, in good condition, for quite reasonable prices. There's a busy market in the USA for these manuals. They come up a lot on ebay, but there are also dealers who acquire these manuals in bulk from various sources, warehouse them, and have their inventory in online searchable databases.
Here's my list of old manuals sources. Over the years I've bought physical copies of the manuals for almost all the test gear I have, and find it's _very_ worthwhile to have them. Far easier to use paper copies, than to struggle with awkward poorly scanned pdfs. You just can't beat a big foldout schematic on the benchtop where you're trying to fix something.
