Many of the more modern analyzers provide a back-panel video output; you can often connect a cheap LCD display to that port and get a great improvement over the aging built-in CRT display.

Recommended for its Educational and practical value!. As received, the fan ran - but was very noisy. I replaced the fan with an EBM-Papst 4414M, which was slightly quieter - but not as much improvement as I had hoped. The CRT screen display was a bit dim, but I achieved a surprising and very useful improvement by following the procedure for re-centering the screen display. This brought new areas of phosphor into use for the graticule and all the screen data. Much easier to read now. My remaining problem is intermittant uncertain contact closure of the various push-buttons - -presumably dirt or weak springs. If anyone knows how to remedy or get replacements please advise!
