Do anyone sell the parts required to complete an previously rackmounted meter back to benchtop use?

I tried the company that is listed as reseller here in Norway, but they don't answer any emails..

I'll have a look to see what I've got lying around. I might have a set left, if not I should be able to find the UK supplier.

Add me to the list as well

Some time ago I even emailed back & forth with Tektronix about pricing for the bench kit and parts on their own (also VFD as they had minimum GBP amount requirement) and also they said the waiting time is couple of months so I dropped the idea and have to live with rack mount tabs

Got my bench kit and VFD from TTi. Took a few emails but arrived eventually.

In the UK you can call them on: 01480 412 451 or
Email: sales@tti.co.uk

TTi sells Keithley spare parts? wow

I thought they have their own multimeters and therefore are a competitor

If KJDS doesn't have any bench kits laying around I'll contact TTi then.

Thanks, would be nice if you have.

I remember tequipment selling them - don't forget to apply eevblog discount! Keithley 2000-BENCHKIT, though I am sure you can get them direct from Keithley for a similar price with cheaper P&P. Other Euro sales offices worth trying too. Of course if Kev has some lying around then go for it.

I think there was a problem with buying from Keithley, some high minimum purchase or something?

In the UK it is (or was) £40 which is not that high. It is, however, more than one "bench kit" - you just need a couple of people to club together.

Thanks for the link. Happen to be looking for that to myself for a Keithley 2015. Tektronix didn't have it in stock, only the handle they had and other parts as the feet 14 week lead, if they get it in. Had to order VFD just to get the handle to meet required minimum amount, before they excepted order. Wish saw link sooner, as didn't need VFD display, as one I have is still bright, nice to have a spare I guess.

philipz · « **Reply #10 on:** September 07, 2015, 10:31:11 pm »

Add me to the list as well for kit and for VFD

OldSchoolTechCorner · « **Reply #11 on:** September 08, 2015, 12:27:58 am »

Tektronix have it. Part number for the 2015 VFD display is DD-52

aerobaticant · « **Reply #12 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:06:06 am »

I know this topic hasn't been posted in while.

Does anyone still have a benchkit going spare?

I've just scored a 2015 on eBay - it should arrive in a day or two.
The photos looked promising re the VFD, but you never know.

neslekkim · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2016, 06:23:20 am »

still looking..

tombi · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2016, 06:29:14 am »

If you get desperate Testpath (www.testpath.com) in the US sell them. No minimum order and (last I bought one) the price was somewhat more sane than that offered by my local (Australian) distributor.

When you look for 2000-benchkit on Amazon, Farnell, Element14, etc. these are readily available. Price around $31+.

neslekkim · « **Reply #16 on:** March 14, 2016, 09:26:20 pm »

Amazon.co.uk -> none
Amazon.com -> This item does not ship to Oslo, Norway.
no.farnell.com -> can't find anything

Testpath said they are not allowed to sell outside US.
Nortelco who is distributor in norway doesn't care to answer me, sent four request since june 2014.

I'm begging testpath to help, but don't think they are able to.

artelse · « **Reply #17 on:** March 16, 2016, 10:52:02 pm »

Ah I see. I actually meant Newark instead of Farnell. But then the shipping is very expensive.

artelse · « **Reply #18 on:** March 22, 2016, 07:47:28 pm »

Hi, came across this EU seller that has a reasonable price: http://www.helmut-singer.de/fix/she.html or http://www.helmut-singer.de/stock/-1485496007.html

Perhaps that'll work out for you.

Thanks, will try to see if it is possible to order from them

azer · « **Reply #20 on:** March 24, 2016, 01:55:15 pm »

It seems 10 have shown up on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/262341036182
and judging from the seller name it is probably helmut-singer selling them.
Did you get a price from them direct? It might be cheaper than through ebay.

neslekkim · « **Reply #21 on:** March 24, 2016, 08:23:10 pm »

sendt them an email now, yes, the price on ebay is a bit higher than on their web, but their web was a bit messy, but found the contactform, tried that.

Few days ago I ordered two sets on this Australian web site
