@BFX Nice LCR, that has great specs. Something like that is on my list, but they aren't cheap!

Yes it's wasn't cheap but in this case price 950EUR was acceptable for me because it's looks in good condition.

Picoscope 2205 25mhz USB oscilloscope. Purchased "pre-owned" on eBay at a nice discount.

Will use for checking power supplies used with low power DC microprocessors (Raspberry Pi) and microcontrollers (Arduino).

Agilent 4142B (HPAK version of Keithley 4200SCS), should be on it's way to me today or tomorrow

I get it for close to nothing, and i will use the DASU as bench DMM, at least for a while.

HP 6624A 4 channel Linear PSU. $65. Ch 4 needs some help, but I think it will be an easy fix.

This is going in my growing automated QC system rack.

Bought one of these then joined the Feel Tech thread over in Test Equipment.

Sbampato12 · « **Reply #1084 on:** March 28, 2016, 04:39:38 pm »

Bought this one, received today, for about US$50,00.

Sold as working, unfortunatelly arrived non working. Will talk with the seller.

McBryce · « **Reply #1085 on:** March 28, 2016, 08:03:50 pm »

It may just be a connector that has shaken loose in the post. I'd check it first before you give the seller a hard time.

It was only the display intensity that was turned all the way down. But it is located in the rear of the equipment, so I took some time to realize.

Glad to hear it was something simple and easily corrected!

Doubtless a huge relief to you as well.

Traded for an HP 3456A. Stuck buttons making the display read crazy. Before I started pressing buttons, the display looked normal, so there is hope that there isn't much wrong with this. I need to take apart the front panel to clean and repair all the switches. I'm suffering thorough the flu, so I don't feel like doing too much right now.

The 3456A is quite deep, so finding a place for it will be a challenge. However, it will be nice to have another 6.5 digit meter to compare with my 3457A which was recently calibrated.

VK5RC · « **Reply #1090 on:** March 30, 2016, 08:06:10 am »

re the buttons on a 3456A did you see the post about the stuck enter button ? https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/hp-5335a-non-working-enter-key/
There is also a link to a video and some other useful tips in that post.
I have pulled apart my 3456A to fix some non-detenting (but still working buttons) and found some of the metal strips floating around the inside and some missing, I have just bought some spring steel strip to try to repair, no luck so far with a bit of steel tape measure (too stiff) nor stiff plastic. I bought 0.05mm thick strip (the same thickness as the springs)

Yes, I had bookmarked that thread for later. Thanks.

Sure I felt a little dumb after that, but yes, a relief!

tnks!

Who would think to look for an intensity control on the rear panel? I doubt I would. (Well, NOW I might, but prior to reading this...)

Hehe... I had one of these LA, albeit the monochrome screen version. It had me confused on occasion.

BTW: have you paid close attention to how this 'color' CRT works..? <teaser question>

Agilent 6553A 0-35 volt 0-15 amp supply for $70.00 shipped - powers on, maybe works, maybe doesn't. I will only know for sure when it arrives.

I have two of the 6653A's (don't know the difference, but they are nearly the same). Daily hard use, no issues. Love 'em. $60 shipped is about as good as it gets. I think mine were around $200-ish.

Cubdriver · « **Reply #1098 on:** March 31, 2016, 04:05:32 am »

Sweet! Nice to see that someone here got that power supply. I was planning to bid on it, but got caught up in life and was out and about when it ended.

Nice, I still need to get back to troubleshooting mine. It is working(not correctly) but in pieces.
