There's a pretty good chance that the failure on that one, is bulging caps on the FIC motherboard, BTW. But I wouln't pay more than $600 to $700 if I were interested.

Thanks guys, what about the 500 MHz version, the 54815A?  Can the resistors be changed on the acquisition PCB to increase the bandwidth?

And what about this one as a risky purchase? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Agilent-54855A-54855-66413-DSO-Infinium-Oscilloscope-parts-or-repair-only/152916007613?hash=item239a811abd:g:~sUAAOSwATxajG-e

It's a 54855A chassis with no PC motherboard, drive, FDD, or cover.  If the acquisition PCB is good, it's 6 GHz with 20 Gsps on all 4 channels simultaneously!  If this were made good, it's asking price is $9,000 or more.

Can you guys tell from the photos whether the serious parts are there? What do you think would be involved to get it going?

[EDIT] the same seller has a 54855A power supply for sale, he wants $3,480 for it!  He doesn't realize that it's only worth $20!

Don't touch that. At least the acquisition interface board is missing. And you might need specific videocards as well.

Holy crap! It's missing everything including the A/D hybrids - this is worth maybe $200-300 if that - run, don't walk, run from that $1500 price. I think they even stripped some other ICs off the board. $200 might have been too generous....

I think the hybrids are there, but they're missing the heat sinks. But, you got to figure that they stole other parts because the ACQ board had problems...
