I may have found a 7613 mainframe that has STORE mode.
Using 7L* SAs in 7854 is a song. It's not just the digital storage, it's the averaging that can significantly help smooth the measurement and increase your SNR. I do it all the time with my 7L5 and also 7L13. Getting a 7854 would really help.
I am looking on the internet for a TR502 (Tracking Generator) with its power supply.
TR502 is great, but you can also do much with a noise source which you can get cheaply on eBay. Most will cover the full frequency range of the 7L13.
what accessories should I buy to use with my SA ?
Certainly not among the first things you should try with your SA, but I can't skip mentioning it - the P6201 or a similar active probe. It would replace the low 50ohm input impedance of your SA with a high impedance low capacitance load. It can greatly help debug/calibrate the high impedance RF circuits (receiver IFs, mixers...). Note that using an active probe with your SA kind of quadruples the danger of killing your mixer with accidental DC, so the utmost care is necessary.
