Howardlong:
On my old bench, I had it on a relatively high shelf, and had a flat fold down LCD monitor just above the bench relaying the composite video from the 8935. This was fine as I rarely ever needed to access the ports once it was set up, as it’s used almost exclusively as part of a final production test. If you need to be able to access the ports frequently, such as for ad hoc testing, this is not so great.

As I mentioned earlier, you could put it on its butt under the bench. Perhaps put it on a small dolly platform so you can easily wheel it in and out?

That actually might be the best solution; the side ports make that a nice and clean way to do it.

Thanks for the help and suggestions everyone! Made an offer on one of the 8935's on eBay and we'll see how it goes.

Alright, managed to win the offer of $400 for a fully working 8935! Now begins the fun waiting period until it gets here.

That Singer Gertsch FM10CS brings back memories Bob.
After the Maroni TF801 signal generator i thought i was the luckiest  when the singer arrived. what a workhorse. It was old then and was a little cantankerous! then the 2955 ex tech rentals was the yard stick and ward work stick to judge all others. It just went and kept  on going, to be rpelaced with a 2965 ( first gen was a dog!)
Anyway are any of the singers still around apart from antique hams/workshops?
