Well, the number is an internal HP part # - You can order one from HP or
call them and find out what it is. Typically you can either get them to tell
you or order the "real" manual for your product and find out.

Sometimes you can replace it with its' generic equivalent part and sometimes
not! Many HP parts although will be picked from standard "off the shelf"
components are screened for particular characterstics and therefore not
directly replaceable. IE - for example dif amps in scopes tend to have
matched pair transistors - You order replacements as a pair, otherwise
the temp and gain characteristics won't match.
