Pete A shame we did not meet a few years ago I had 2 1164s. Both working and cranky. Often thought about using modern technology per decade. Anyhow you could have been the proud owner of both of them for that magical box we send back and forth. As it was I darnear gave them a way for a song at a hamfest. I do have a 8660c and fluke 6060. Both work very well and I use them often. I am familiar with the old HP now thats a serious boat anchor. I assume you picked up both the source and the gen it was a 2 unit gizmo. Regards Paul WB8TSL
