I have looked locally and most of the schools got rid of any equipment like that years ago, and I don't have any swapmeets near me that I could go to, I live smack dab in the middle of northern Indiana which has nothing in the way of ham-fests or swapmeets for radios and TVs, and the local flea markets and antique stores have yet to have anything like that for sale in them, the closest I've seen to test equipment like what you are talking about was a signal generator at a local flea market, and it was in my price range but I didn't have the money on me at the time to buy it and when I went back the next time when I did have the money for it, it was already gone. So basically where I live it isn't much of a hotbed for vintage test equipment.
