The only issue I can see with this is that the P6860 looks similar to the HP E5346A — in other words, it ends in a Mictor-style compression clip. I need flying leads. That looks like the P6810 — the actual flying lead sets look super affordable, but the cables are back-breakingly expensive (unless I’m missing something, the least expensive option is $670.

Any suggestions here?

we try to make our own flying lead.. if no other cheaper option... https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/tla7aa4-p6860-probe-artwork/?topicscreen if you need gerber file for the one i've created, you can ask anytime, i will search where i've put it. ymmv.

Mechatrommer already mention this but you can make your own adapter for the P6860. Someone was selling the adapters on ebay, (see attached pictures).
The other option is P6960 with 196-3494-01 adapter but you have to wait to get a good deal, (I paid $100US for both the probe and adapter but I had to wait).

You are in the US so don't just look at E-bay for logic analyzers. I am seeing auction sites way cheaper (under $1000) than E-bay for newer Tektronix logic analyzers, (TLA7012 and TLA6404 etc).  Someone bought a TLA6402 on an auction site for about $500 and was trying to sell it on E-bay for $5000, (he also posted it on this forum).

Be patient.

Mechatrommer:
but if i'm at OP's position i will try to fix the existing modules first. its a surprise all 5 modules fail. do they fail the same test? i'm not familiar but maybe you can open up and switch parts. if all repair attempts fail, only then spend extra money. ymmv.

nctnico:
The problem could also be in the mainframe (worn connector or someone gave it a treatment with contact spray).
