                        13D - Amendment No. 1

     The Reporting Persons, consisting of The SC Fundamental Value Fund, L.P.
("Fund"), SC Fundamental Value BVI, Inc. ("BVI Inc."), SC Fundamental Inc. 
("SC"), Gary N. Siegler ("Siegler") and Peter M. Collery ("Collery"), hereby
amend their statement on Schedule 13D relating to the common stock, par value
$0.20 per share, of Dynatech Corporation as set forth herein.  Unless 
otherwise indicated, capitalized terms contained herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in Reporting Persons' prior statement on Schedule 13D.

Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
  
               Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:

               The Reporting Persons purchased all Shares of the Issuer which 
they may be deemed to beneficially own for the aggregate purchase price of
$17,893,093.47.   Such Shares were purchased with working capital of Fund and 
BVI Ltd. and with funds extended by brokerage firms in connection with margin 
transactions effected for Fund and BVI Ltd.

<PAGE>

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction

            Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

            On June 10, 1994, Gary N. Siegler and Peter M. Collery (the 
"Representatives") on behalf of the Reporting Persons had a telephone
conversation with John F. Reno, Theodore Cohn and Warren A. Law, who are to be
management's nominees for election as directors at the next meeting of Issuer's
stockholders (the "Nominees").  The Representatives made inquiry of Nominees 
regarding a variety of subjects designed to elicit Nominees' views regarding 
maximization of stockholder value.

            Based upon that conversation, which Reporting Persons considered
unsatisfactory, Reporting Persons are considering their alternatives, which may,
in light of their dissatisfaction with the Nominees, include proposing
and soliciting proxies in support of a slate of directors (committed, among
other things, to enhancing stockholder value) to oppose the Nominees.

            In considerating their alternatives, Reporting Persons have had and
may continue to have discussions with third persons.  No arrangements, 
agreements or under-

<PAGE>

standings with respect to Issuer or the Shares exist between Reporting 
Persons and such third persons.

            Reporting Persons have requested a list of stockholders of the 
Issuer (by letter attached hereto as Exhibit 3) pursuant to Massachusetts Law
in order to communicate with other stockholders of the Issuer.

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer

            Item 5(a) is hereby amended to add the following:
 
            (a) As of the close of business on June 3, 1994, the Reporting
Persons may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 887,300 Shares,
representing approximately 9.6% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer (based 
upon the number of Shares reported to be outstanding in the Issuer's Form 10Q 
for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1993).  The Reporting Persons have 
direct beneficial ownership of the Shares as follows:

Name       Number of Shares      Approximate Percentage of Outstanding Shares

Fund           611,100               6.6%
BVI. Inc       276,200               3.0%

<PAGE>

             Item 5(b) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as 
follows:

             (b) Each of Fund and BVI Inc. has the sole power to vote or to
direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of Shares which it
directly beneficially owns.  Each of SC, Siegler and Collery may be deemed to
share with Fund the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to
direct the disposition of Shares which Fund directly beneficially
owns.  Each of Siegler and Collery may be deemed to share with BVI Inc. the
power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the
disposition of Shares which BVI Inc. directly beneficially owns.

             Item 5(c) is hereby amended to add the following:

             (c)  The following table sets forth all transactions with
respect to the Issuer's Shares effected by each of the Reporting Persons 
listed in Item 5(a) since the most recent filing on Schedule 13D.  The 
transaction set forth below reflects a purchase effected by means of an over-
the-counter trade.
