I have the same experience with some Waveteks - a sweep/signal generator in
my case - and working on it has not been fun. Furthermore, I think the
design was fundamentally less than stellar (to be exceedingly polite), but
even as much as trying to repair it was underwhelming and
sometimes frustrating.
I've been avoiding similar units since, though Wavetek has some very good
metrology units that may change my mind if I try to fix them.

Today, was trying to fix a Wiltron 610D sweep generator with no output.
Opening it up revealed the very difficult path to just accessing any of
their boards. No slack in connecting wires, no way to access components,
etc. Maybe, I'm used to the cool parking lot layout of Tektronix. Anyone
have any experience on Wiltron? I won't dare try to fix another one again.
