What was the list price on the MS8609A unit & options?

Mechatrommer:
right.. i paid for the unit is $1000, calibration due 2016, maybe if i need recalibration, i'll just simply browse for another used unit in ebay, hopefully still within calibration spec, or... i will improvise the Z540 rig, gain more knowledge and all.

That seems pretty good for a unit with options 1/4/8/31...the essentials.  I have seen almost none with option 2 ever odffered--must not be popular.

Mechatrommer:
but it has 11 years on the counter, and doesnt have rubidium clock. finger crossed. i was really hoping the seller didnt accept that fast, now i'm locked. i checked back the manufacturing date of Advantest R3465 is 1994, 25 years ago, now it start to show deterioration at input atten, YIG or i'm not sure what (failed built-in calibration but still shows reading). i hope things like this are built for 20+ years of life, so i can still enjoy 9+ years clock of the yet to come Anritsu MS8609A. i cant find though when MS8609A first manufactured. 2 years counter and rubidium @ $1450 is much more bargain, even like $2K imho, but unfortunately that kind of figure will really pressing my budget (i'm currently eyeing for the used 1D X Mark II as well, i only can drink my tears).
