I picked up this 500 MHz SA for cheap, because the CRT display is very dim, although it appears to work otherwise. I was hoping that some internal adjustments would fix it right up, but no. The unit

The OS-245 has a militarized gray cabinet with excellent louvers. It is the same as a 7603N (i.e., no readout). I have one (but, like many things, don't need it).
