B&K 1077s and 1076 analysts can often be snagged at swap meets/ham fests for under $30 (some will need recap work). They were designed to service tube sets up into early SS, and were designed to aid in troubleshooting everything from dead IF stages to dead sweep stages (including ring testing), and take up about the space of a 70's bookshelf speaker. IMHO an analyst is one of the more useful pieces of TV test gear.
