One that old may still work fine, but the only way to know is to test it....The pots and switches are likely dirty by now.

Thanks, I'll take a look, I did manage to find the manual for it on the BAMA and I was reading through the manual and boy was it convoluted! Some of the stuff they talked about in there was bordering on physics, and high mathmatics like Triginometry and Calculus, (all of which I have not taken at all) it seems like its going to take a lot of tutorial videos and reading to try and figure out how to use this thing. It does actually have some calibration stuff built into it from what I could see on the side of the unit. It seems that according to the circuit boards on the inside of the unit this thing dates back to 1965, and it is all solid state and has socketed transistors in it for easy replacement of transistors. It also says on the unit that it used to belong to IBM originally.
