Okay, so if I were ever to pick up a used Tektronics 465B someday that 
needs to be calibrated properly, what kind of equipment would be 
necessary to do the job?  I mean, would doing this yourself roughly 
equate to doing something like tuning an analog synth properly or would 
it be a much more highly complex operation?
