I got rid of the 7L12 because quite frankly it scared me. It could literally turn into a brick at any moment with no hope of repair. There are literally no parts mules for it or anything.

Looking at the pile of SA crap I got at the last PP auction, the HP 8557/8/9 SA plug-ins aren't any better, the same mechanical parts, switch wafers & knobs are broken/missing on most of them.
Clearly the mixer, Yig oscillator and attenuator are trouble too, judging by them either being missing or labelled as futzed, though I suspect some of that might have been the operators fault.  :-BROKE

Yes same with the SA's that were floating around today. I enquired about a couple. I was being pushed a 20GHz one for £60 and told what a good deal it was. But it came with a printed manual in a tesco carrier bag and a little zip lock bag taped on the front with some HP leaf contacts in it. He said he'd tried to repair it but not got around to finishing it. My daughter who was with me today actually laughed slightly too loudly at that. I passed on it.

There is something very, very wrong with me... I just got a raging nerd-boner. No idea what in the world I'd do with it... I just know I want...  :-DD

Well two options:

1. Heat your house with it.
2. Stick your dick in it.

I could swear I saw something like this on the 3DP Knobs & feet thread; if not, Thingiverse.

Otherwise big stick-on feetses. ;)

Will work out a new foot solution to this...

Didn't you 3DP one of those feet sometime ago?
Don't know why, but that rear foot always seems to crumble, on that type of case, the front one for the tilting bail, must be made from a different plastic.

I probably did. Can't remember that far back. I blocked my escapades in 3d printing out of my mind so I don't go down that rabbit hole again. Then again, never know what might happen  :popcorn:

I'll just start digging that hole for when SWMBO finds out... :P
