Hello Richard,
I have the same 670-9091-01 board in my 2756P analyzer.
Most of the information you are looking for is in the Service Manual 494P & 494AP Spectrum Analyzers Volume 2 - 070-5561-00.

Re: DSA 602, using 7K plugins
I don't own a 7CT1N but the 7A22 is a great plug-in, much more sensitive than the 11A33.

Thanks for the suggestions. Can you send me please the link you are talking about?

Re: Tektronix TDS8000 - Backup calibration parameters and other important stuff
It was 4+ years last time I looked at it so take the following comments with a grain of salt. Some calibration data is stored in a directory "CalConst". I think those are the ones scope can figure out
