One day you'll strike lucky, and one will turn up, previously long forgotten in someone's attic (or, loft, if you prefer) ... just down the road. I have recently picked up a load of "vintage" test equipment that came up like that following the recall of a good old boy to "that great workshop in the sky"!
The "secret" there, is (of course) not having too many people know about it ... and once stuff is posted on eBay, well ... the whole world is in the know! Then your only hopes are a) That's it's an auction of short duration, and b) That the thing has been incorrectly catalogued (as sometimes happens, when the seller doesn't know what the item actually is) ... but then, how would you come across it?
But, we live in hope, do we not?
PS: I notice that the M-Tron stuff attracts a fair amount of interest (bidders), too.
