I bought from Naptech a very clean HP8566B for $2200. I am very happy with
it.

At Microwave Update last week, Hangar 18 Surplus (
http://www.hangar18surplus.com ) had a really clean looking, late-production
Tek 497P on their table for $2500.  That would be a really good match for
what you're asking for.  I was surprised it didn't sell -- you might call
them and see if they still have it.

I don't think you'll miss the 141T if you get one of these.
