IIRC the TM5000 series does not like the AM503 (?) current amplifier.? There should be a table in the archives giving compatibility.? Almost everything is happy otherwise.
The TM5000 modules do not fit into the TM500 series frames because of the extra connector for the IEEE-488 interface.
I've seen TM5000 series modules that are 1, 2 and 3 spaces wide. IIRC, there are TM5000 frames that are 1, 2, 3 and 6 spaces wide.
This follows what the TM500 frames do, with the exception that there is a TM515.? It is a 5 unit enclosure in a rugged travel case designed to allow engineers to take a custom set of instrumentation to a remote site.? IIRC it was designed to fit under a plane seat.

As far as I am aware ALL tm500 plugins can be used in tm5000 modules but
tm5000 and not be used in the tm 500 frames.
One not of caution there are some special tm5000 modules that only support
1 device.

I can confirm that SG503s are capable of running quite happily in TM5000

I have a couple of the SG503's, both older and newer versions. I'll stick
them in a TM500 and TM5000 mainframe and take some measurements in the
next
few days.
I had one that had a faulty crystal which meant the display didn't work
(The crystal only runs the display, the output is generated separately
with
analogue RLC networks etc). I replaced it with this part and all is well
again.
Also, if your unit has Texas Instruments IC sockets, you need to replace
them. They are notorious for going bad. I replace them on sight with good
quality circular pin types.
