Beware that two kids of diodes were used, not interchangeable. I have never priced them.
I was able to get a suitable handle for my 410B and a couple of other -hp- instruments from Bretun's Village, who sells luggage repair parts. I used leather handles with buckles to avoid having to replace the staples. Not very expensive. If you don't see what you want write them, they often have stuff not in the catalog or can get it.

The very high DC resistance of the 410B (122 megohm) makes it useful for some things like measuring capacitor leakage resistance.

Hello!
?? I was at the local Electronics Flea Market yesterday and scored a well-used HP 410B - complete with the RF probe! - for $20.
It had a piece of masking tape on it that said "Needs Work".??? It was festooned with stickers proclaiming ownership by "Philco Ford", and announcing that it was due for calibration in 1974.
