No I bought a 5061A a few weeks before unfortunately it has issues some of which are traceable to improper packing. I'm surprised you did not buy the power cord (i did) on ebay. The Cannon connectors are expensive but they can be had from Powell Electronics here in Massachusetts.
I think someone here knows the part # The reason Parts are Unobtainium is Agilent sold the Time and Frequency divsion to Symmetricom and while some parts stock is still available from Agilent most of the people have moved on plus the 5061 is a 20+ year old design and it was superceded by the microprocessor controlled 5071A which is an even better Cs device which is a couple of orders of magnitude better than our 5061x's. On the other hand the 5061 is approachable by someone with a well equipped lab. But still we own devices which at one time were the exclusive domain of Govenments, national laboratories and aerospace firms. Welcome to the club!
