I have a 608A that is in need of some repair. Actually, I am not sure which "letter" it is as the label with model and serial number is missing. The unit does work, but the wave form is not very good in some ranges and there are a few other issues. Is there anyone out there who refurbishes these units. A few years ago, I found a place on the web in Washington State, I think, that refurbished them, but I can't find it now.
I have been telling myself that I would do it myself but I just can't seem to get it up on the priority list. I did search the archives but didn't find anything helpful. There might be something but nothing popped up in my search. Any help would be appreciated.

You might get a lead on which model you have by downloading manuals for the various versions and comparing pictures in the to the unit you have. It's been years since I was inside one of them, so I can't give you anything from memory. Seems like there were a few tubes that changed types over the course of the model changes; that might be an easy place to start.
Mechanical changes around the tuner assembly might help as well.
Look at for some of the manuals.
