Gene,

Trying to figure out what an HP-4815A probe looks like.  An Ebay search
shows me a Vector Impedance Meter.  Are you looking for a probe for that
piece of test equipment, or is that the model # of the probe?

It sounds like he is one of literally several people with the meter
but no probe:

Andy,

Okay, makes sense.  Gene, you have the HP part # for the probe?

 Gene,
 
 Trying to figure out what an HP-4815A probe looks like.  An Ebay search
 shows me a Vector Impedance Meter.  Are you looking for a probe for that
 piece of test equipment, or is that the model # of the probe?

I have the meter, but the probe is very fragile electronicly, a 15 volt 
static charge can destroy it.  And of coarse they've been made of 
unobtainium from HP for 30+ years now.  Its quite complex because a 1ns 
sampler is in it, with 9 miniature coax cables in the cord, all matched to 
within about 1/32 for length.

I don't expect to ever see a working one as the last one I saw was in 1969 
at KOTA-tv, but am damned fool enough to try and repair a blown one.
 
Thanks for asking, Mark

Cheers, Gene

 Mark

The only way it was serviceable was by HP in its day, a new probe and re-
calibration ran around 2 g's.

One thing that stands out is the relatively large backlash compensation

I would try setting this to 0 temporarily and see if the following errors go 
away.

Also the ferror values are likely way too small
.02 mm for ferror and .005 mm for min ferror are probably
a lot more realistic
