I got me a Husky 26" 9 drawer tool chest and drawer liners for my office. I have a little dinky Harbor Freight wooden tool chest-I love wood tool chests but I outgrew mine and a proper sized box is insanely expensive. Even a grade B box that is smaller was $50 more than what I bought. Now my tools are organized in my quaint little OCD way

. Now I have to add labels to the drawers so I know what is in each. The best part is the lock-I can keep everyone out. That was broken on my wooden one which will find usage in the garage. Next step is to make a rolling platform to move it out of the way when not in use.

I got 2 datsun Roadsters for practically nothing. I am starting to think the other guy got the better deal!! Lots of night time wrenching in my future I see.

So it is raining Datsun Cogs by you then.........

Those were nice vehicles, and they are coming back into the Nissan naming system too. Finally Datcentre will be selling the vehicles that built it up again.

Thanks BravoV! Seller hit me with $18 UPS shipping, but still a good deal imo. Was listed as parts unit, but it works perfect. I picked up a lot of three PD 4005 last year, this 5005T will look good on the shelf next to them.

Awesome score !

I wish I was so lucky to have just $18 shipping on anything. Absolutely everything shipped into Canada or across Canada costs about $45 - $50

A Fluke 25 from Kev with hard case, manual and leads, bargain at the price.

. Don't ask me why I got them, I blame you lot, they were cheap on aliexpress and I figured they would always be handy to have.

Ordered a Peak DCA75Pro Component Tester last night (17:00) and it already arrived today (15:00)!

After being very happy with their ESR meter and watching lots of review videos (Big thanks to SteveyG for a great video) I decided to get this. Tonight I'll be going through my random parts bin to see what I have and give the device a good testing.

Nice score, those are good power supplies and with a little rehab can last you a lifetime.

I know the feeling. Darn you inexpensive AliExpress bulk ordering!

Don't blame us.

You know you're running out of time and you just had to have them thinking they'll help.

I'd advise you not to intend mixing them into any health-nut drinks, that might speed up the inevitable.

Well, I bought it last weekend, and it arrived yesterday.

That right there is more than 5 pounds of genuine new, used, shiny filthy knobs, folks!

After a bit of sorting, I had a sandwich bag of nasty cheap friction-fit knobs, a little pile of loose set screws and this expanse of vintage industrial design.

A number of them are pretty distinctive and I'm curious about their origin. I think I need to start a thread for help IDing them.

In the long run, I'll probably sell or give away most of them. I'd hoped there were a few silver anodized aluminum knobs in the lot that would be suitable replacements for some missing or sub-par knobs on my power designs PSUs, but no such luck.

The same thread has plenty of comments on it.

I will have a play with it over the weekend...

Not with these no. I do know that the guy next door has told him that he is going to invite the local traveller community round one day for coffee and to see his lovely car park.

Lot of vintage audio knobs there, I recognise a lot of Technics knobs in the pile.

I am not crazy about those scope meters, but for $45 I don't think anyone could pass that up, rather nice! I didn't even think you could get one of those for 10x that.

How about free? I got a Fluke 123 handed to me a few months ago. I paid $65 for a new keyboard flex and $12 to get the battery pack rebuilt. It works great.

It's not a buy but a barter. I was at the local surplus store and bartered a rather large amount of components and parts, including about a 1000 medium sized NOS rocker switches, that were given me into a Metcal MX500P-11, Talon tweezers and a stand for the tweezers. Owner made it an even swap. I am usually the one saying. "Why can't I ever get deals like that." Now, I finally did. Just tested it and it works fine business.

Nice score!

Once you get a regular iron for it, you can do a comparison to your new FX-951.
