I'll buy at once, for that price...
The lowest I found is 600 US$ : http://www.rssurplus.com/wavetek.html
I used Wavetek instruments for years, and the were reliable and well made.

Nice units and the service manual should be available as well. I have the 75 AWG and its great quality.

The price sounds excellent but make sure the seller gives a DOA right of return on it.
