Looks like Agilent has a replacement part:

Part Part Description
Number Reference Used In Price Part
Category
5086-7068
[Obsolete] ORD-08640-67002
Status : No Longer Orderable.
Type : New support part for which Agilent
owns the design specifications.

Replaced By 08640-67002, which is no longer orderable. They'll
exchange for a (? refurbished) part.

I found this at http://www.parts.agilent.com/, after a little
digging.

If you _do_ do the exchange, please let us know how it turns
out and what neighborhood the price was in. My 8640B will die
one of these days, too.

The last time I asked Agilent for a replacement part (failed switching
supply) it cost more than the analyzer. We used a ginned up ATX supply with
some DC-DC converters.
