There is a long thread about Keysight stopping selling to indivuals.
The closure of the eBay store may be related to this.

Shit, I just bought a N6705B with some munted knobs, I'm gonna have to run the Keysight Knob Gauntlet again. Wish me luck.

Yes, very true and still it feels differently these days.

In the ebay days of Keysight one could make an offer and sometimes a ridiculously low offer was accepted and one could afford a good used instrument that was otherwise out of reach.

Or to find a fool that pays good money to get rid of their trash.
Plenty of second hand KS stuff will hit the second hand markets for good price in the next 20 years, but without service manual or any support from them, it's huge liability to pay more than trash price, because it's just that, once something breaks.

You can have a knob if you return it for service for $2000.

The 3000T series are the same crap from find-a-part.  Almost nothing is available but you can return to service to get it replaced.  Not even knobs are shown although we know where they are.  It looks like there was some sort of a change in policy because older products with the same parts still have those parts available.

Keysight lawyers do not want you injured while pulling that old knob off or pushing the new one on.  I wish I were joking but this may not be that far off.
