Title: Beautiful Photos of Test Equipment (Mostly Vintage HP)
Post by: edpalmer42 on February 01, 2019, 05:31:11 am
Seriously, this equipment didn't look this good when they came out of the factory.  Photoshopping models isn't cool, but using it on test equipment is totally okay with me!!!

Looks to be the same, but might be updated quicker.

Most of the stuff is even older than me, but the photos are stunning. It looks like something one might see in a brochure from HP back then.

I have the 3478A image as wallpaper on both workbench computers as I have 2 of them.  I love the floating effect.  And yes, I wish mine looked that good.

Bench surface?  Where we're going we don't need bench surface.  :-DD
