They're still in business.

I don't know about the BSM-5 in particular, but I _do_ know about
the more modern W&G gear, which is used for troubleshooting LANs
and the like. The new stuff is superb -- in the same class as 
Rhode & Schwarz, the good stuff from Cubic, and so on. We have
some at work, and it is an utter pleasure to use. I suspect that 
your BSM-5 is in the same league.

Got a year of manufacture?

Well, now there are these "transistor" and "chip" thingies ... .
