I tried to do a search on the matching serial number and a few model numbers but found nothing.

It ended up being the 54603B. It was $50 and didn't include probes. I went for it because it should more than meet my needs for now. But, an upgrade may be in the future.

Oh, very cool!

You should post back when you've started to play with use it.

Congratulations!!!

This oscilloscope series is very smooth to use. I really have fond memories of using one in the early 1990s.
osteichthyes:
I got and calibrated a pair of probes recently. Having zero EE training and also having never used an oscilloscope before, I expected a steep learning curve and lots of confusion. But, the scope is so logical and simple to use that I've really been learning a ton without too much confusion. Everything sort of just makes sense. Plus there's something very satisfying about the whole green on black CRT thing.

I went with the cheap $10 probes from Amazon. They feel...cheap. What is a good brand of probe that's easy to find in the US? I'm thinking one or two 1:10 probes might be nice because those cheap ones from Amazon seem to be a little too easily switched between 1:1 and 1:10.

Thanks again for the advice, all!
