Oscilloscope question

From what I can tell, there's an Operation Manual (P/N 71500024) and a Maintenance Manual (P/N 71500026 or 7150026 depending on which part of the manual you read), which is listed as an "Optional Accessory" in my ops manual. On the plus side, the ops manual does include the calibration instructions. I don't have a copy of the calibration overlay for the keypad, but there's a 1:1 copy of it in the manual anyway. The calibration jackplug is a bog-standard 2.5mm mono minijack that's had the tip line wired to the barrel (i.e. dead short). Seems the late 70s/early 80s was the timeframe when this was common. I've got a 1992 HP 1651B service manual and it's just a boardswapping guide. Not even any parts lists for the individual PCBs - just a list of boards and how to remove them. There's not even any info on calibrating the acquisition timebase (I suspect it's calibration-free - a crystal oscillator or something). My Tek 466 manual (circa 1986) covers everything - schematics, waveforms, calibration, parts lists for every individual part on every PCB, microcode, performance checks... "Scopes from Tek, spectrum analysers and logic analysers from HP, multimeters Not sure about bench PSUs, I tend to build those myself, but I've got a Farnell Instruments L30/BT here (my 5A DIY PSU went bang - cheap components never last very long).
