Well your in luck as I too own such a 'beast' (along with the 2B67 and 3A72 plug-ins as well as the 3L5 1Hz to 1MHz spectrum analyiser and 3B3 delayed sweep and 3T77 random sweep plugins.) I just happen to have the manuals for all of it too. The calibration of it is pretty straight forward with the manual, but without it, you would have better luck trying to launch it to Mars ;-) At any rate, I'll see if I can dig up some copies for you. BTW, don't leave the secondary intensity turned up to high in storage mode or the CRT will bite the big one (I.E. a perment trace in both the upper and lower display areas). Nice little beasty though ;-) -=-= Wes =-=-
