When I ordered replacement displays for my R&S UPA Analyzer they sent them in the same box. It was huge for three displays, and had enough high-tech packaging to survive a moon launch:). Oddly enough, they were fairly inexpensive, and the shipping from Germany was very reasonable. From the company that makes $30K + oscilloscopes; Go figure...
 
Phil's purchase of a HP 428B got me to look for one as well, but I first looked for the probes then
once I got a working one( actually 2!! ) I pulled the trigger on a unit to go with them.

Not exactly test equipment but BOY what an improvement to my baby bench. Stock photos because I'm too lazy to walk over to my desk.

Be careful with LED lights if you are working on tuners. I've had issue with noise generated by them that makes alignment a nightmare/impossible on some, but not all, tuners . . . .

No plans to work on tuners but who knows what the future holds... Thanks for the tip.
 
I have a Tektronix CMC250 which is an RF version of this with some extra buttons and indicator lights under the display. It goes to 1.3 GHz . . . Don't use it much but it's nice to have when I need it.
