I have the same question, as my 577D1 mysteriously disappeared during my
recent move; a friend gave me a 577D2 upon arrival in FL.

Dennis,
I welcome the change of topic. I felt like I "Hijacked" the 5xx thread. Here is my issue, I have a 577D2 (non-storage) and that is the one thing about it that I do miss and feel is most useful "different" feature of the 577. I wanted the D1 as my first choice, but the D2 presented itself at a good price, so I bought it, on the chance that I could fix it and resell later. I have several 5000 and 7000 series storage scopes, so I have worked with them enough to understand the limitations and finicky nature of the technology. I was looking at the schematics and was wondering if, push comes to shove, it is possible to "add" the storage function to the D2, using parts scavenged from a 5111/5103(D11)? It seems that the differences are very few between them. The simpler thing may be to just wait on the right 577D1 to pop up for repair? I am finding that repairing these instruments is not as difficult as learning to use them properly. I am leaning toward keeping both instruments, at least for the time being. Anyway, I appreciate your detailed answer and insights!
Sincerely,
