Oops... I meant HP 1707B, but must have been thinking about my Tektronix
'scope at the time.

That, I'm not certain of. As soon as I take a look at the microfiche, I'll
find out, and will let you know. It's quite possible that both use the
same HV power supply.

As do university libraries, but I doubt they could make hardcopies.
The local branch of the Baltimore County public library is mostly
useless (they tend to focus on keeping books like romance novels and
other fiction paperbacks, etc. in stock at the expense of useful
books, which they get rid every so often to clear more space for more
rubbish), but that's worth checking as well.
Someone mentioned to that Kinkos copy centers can do this, so I'll
check that option out, as there's one nearby.

That's on my list of things to obtain when I can find room for one. :-)
