I've attached a 5071B photo from the web. Quite nice looking. Same specs 
(except now RoHS).

They kept the yellow-green LCD, which looks more out of place now both 
in color and tech era. Maybe OLED isn't reliable enough yet. They didn't 
mess with the red LED display. I converted one of mine to green and 
amber. However, the prize goes to Tom Knox for his all-blue version:

The new black theme follows Keysight 'scopes, 3458A, and frequency 
counters that I've seen recently. Still waiting for space gray to show 
up in the T&F world. Does anyone know what a new 5071 costs these days? 
I miss the era of the annual hp catalog. I'm heading to Home Depot for a 
can of matte black spray paint to turn a parts-unit 5071A into a B.
