I also had a similar find on eBay. I snagged a Tektronix PG 508 pulse generator that I got for about the same price as shipping (approx $50) because the 'Control Error' light was on. Sure enough, the close-up pictures were good enough to show that the risetime/falltime etc. settings were incompatible and the error light had lit.

After the discussion a few weeks ago, I started looking for a 5370. In answer to the question about affordable 5370's, yes, there are sub $200 5370's out there. I just acquired one from eBay. Listed as 'won't power up'. Close look at the pictures showed intact Agilent calibration stickers on the top/bottom covers, HPIB cable cut off, and possibly, just possibly, the faint shadow of the 110/220 card set to 220. Figured it was worth a shot, so I esniped it for $154 + $45 in shipping.
