The main pros of the 8600a/8601a are multiple accurate markers, marker adding does not interfere with the displayed frequency response and simple sweep and frequency and amplitude controls.
Lesson learned! It's been working great so far and I was able to produce nice traces on the scope for the discriminator and sound response traces for the RCA.
Next is getting to these traps...again. I found and serviced the exact RCA VoltOhmyst VTVM from this era recommended for the alignment. I had some custom probes made up by an eBayer who is well known for quality reproductions of old test equipment probes and leads. What could go wrong...right???!!!
