If you got the probe pods with your analyzer, you're in good shape and
it's worth looking for another 1610A.  But the Analyzer chassis itself
without the pods is a depressingly useless piece of hardware.  There are
folks who've designed their own pods for 161x logic analyzers, but for
most of us, that detracts seriously from actually USING the things.  I
eventually gave away my 1610 chassis to a friend who had one, with the
pods.  Now I have a 1630G that I managed to find with pods.
