     Both the 606-B and 608-E were set up so that an 
external stabilizer could be attached. I no longer remember 
the model number for the stabilizer but the catalogues are 
avaiable at the Agilent site. The 606-B has an additional 
buffer stage. Either will work as a stand-alone and both are 
very good generators with very low phase noise.

     Sometimes sticky meters can be fixed by simply working 
the zero adjuster but it may be the rear suppor that's 
sticking. Meters are not too difficult to work on but you 
need a steady hand.
