Rew the Subject: line... To me '555' has only one other common meaning
and that;s an 8 pin IC that can be used as an astable, monostable or
bistable.

I am pretty sure the conenctors were standard (full size Blue Ribbon
ones). I dnn't know if they're still made, but you might fidn them
second-hand sowmewhere. IIRC it's a straight-through cable, and it's jsut
pwoer lines (include the AC feed to the heater transformer in the
'scope),. so the calgbe is not too critical. Ypu might be able to make one.

However the service manual for my Tektronix 555
'scope does explain how
to debug one half of the unit usign the other half (this is a ture
double-beam ;'scome, apart from the CRT and low-votlage PSUs, it's almost
2 'sopes in one box, so you can use one to diagnost faults with the other).
I too have a Tektronix 555, but I lack a power supply umbilical. Do
you have any clue as to where I might find one? I've been meaning to
join the well-known TekScopes list; I should do that and ask there as well.
