Yeah, I saw it there at that hamfest, and the price too. But I already have a non-microwave HP frequency counter, so I figured - let's have someone else have it :)
I plan on adding the 3 GHz channel soon. But yeah, couldn't pass it up for the price. However I do have two microwave counters, HP 5350B and a HP 5343A. The 475A I also brought home just needed come contact cleaner. I haven't completely gone through it yet but it appears to have been serviced in the last 15 years or so.
Well cared for they are still a very viable scope. I used a 465 when I was in school and always wanted one, but yeah, wasn't going to pass up a fully optioned 475A for $25.00 :)

Whoa what a deal!!
I think I paid something like 250 EUR for my 53131A, which was already a reasonable, maybe even good deal where I live. I'm jealous as well ;)
I still have 475A. That's a steal at $25 I paid a lot more for mine way back when!

Jealous!
