In the early eighties i worked at HP  Joseph Street repair and calibration facility in Blackburn ( a suburb of Melbourne).

A note came out showing how to use a HP45 wallwart to knock up a curve tracer simply using the transformer and a current limiting resistor.

I had the Hamegs, but they were no where near as nice. Being able to drive a transistor to destruction,
observing failure mode, then just backing off to recover ... multiple traces, sure miss it.

Anybody else here miss some of those old Heathkit beasties?

Yup, built it in 1974 from this Popular Electronics Magazine.  And...I still have it...still works.
