I got mine on eBay.  It wasn't quite as easy as Steve implied, nor as 
hard as Scott implied.  For about $200 or so, I got a pair of logic 
analyzers, a 1630g and a 1630d.  Each has a full set of pods, but an 
incomplete set of grabber-adapters, so between them I have more than 
one complete set of pods and adapters.  Plus, I can decide whether I want 
the better asynch stuff on the 1630d, or the higher number of inputs on 
the 1630g :-).  (Or I could put one of them back out on eBay and recoup 
some of my $$.  That would contribute to the problem Scott is talking 
about, though.)  It took me perhaps a month of watching auctions (and 
getting outbid) before I got what I needed.

Scott is correct that there is a lot of stuff on eBay that isn't worth 
much, because the hard-to-find bits have been removed.

Oh, and I have a lead set here that doesn't fit the 1630 series.  Anyone 
need a set of Gould grabber adapter clips :-)?
