Thanks, mate, but I'm afraid the shipping costs to Spain are prohibitive 

Still searching..

[McBryce]

I thought that, but I just wanted to show that they at least exist out there somewhere. Maybe you can use keywords / part names/numbers from that to refine your search?

Edit: Mouser does them too if you don't mind cutting the tails off yourself: https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/Schurter/80200507PT?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtxU2g%2f1juGqU%2fWMDrwliA3Ahotn7L48e0%3d

A stack of silicone cable, among other things, from the HobbyKing warehouse sale. Some of it at ridiculous prices and free shipping over $50 here in Aus

..Mouser does them too...

Mouser shipping prices are even dearer!

Bought a new Brymen BM869S multimeter   Probably the meter I should have bought instead of a Fluke 85V last year, but both are good meters.

[Addicted2AnalogTek]

Five days ago I ordered 24 pieces of paper from Mouser.... 
...and an Engineer SS-02 solder sucker off ebay. Mouser won the delivery speed contest.

Very quite (only 49 dB) and small. I bought it in local store focused on airbrush for 139EUR (HSENG ® AS-196 or FENGDA FD-196 ).

You'll like this, I have the same one, very good.

Thanks. 

I've read what you wrote about it and this was one of the reasons I've bought one, too.
Sadly, it'll arrive next week (have my doubts, that it'll make it 'til Saturday).

I have been browsing to replace my thumb-pump unit too and now think I am convinced. Thank you both.

What everyone wants - a "Low Cost Benchtop Network Analyzer".

[nowlan]

A stack of silicone cable, among other things, from the HobbyKing warehouse sale. Some of it at ridiculous prices and free shipping over $50 here in Aus

Was 3m for $11 a good deal ? Didnt think so, so skipped when my friends were ordering RC parts.

Never knew they made a benchtop variant of the N9912A,  or is this just a nice example of extreme case modding? [emoji6]

I like that it's appropriately labeled, as well.

Electronics inside are actually an N9923A. It is an extreme mod but it was done by Agilent engineers many years ago, it is a one off that escaped from the Agilent tombs. And it is far from finished with respect to hardware and software.

[bitseeker]

Wow, that's very cool, Steve. Congrats on getting a hold of it.

[blackbird]

Take good care about a unique peace of equipment like this. I'd be happy to give sanctuary to lone soles like these one-offs.

Which of the tips do you use most? The T3 ones with 1,3mm diameter?

Yes that's the one that sees most use, it really is a brilliant tool. Be careful with lead free solder as it tends to form small beads of solder and unless you hold the trigger on and suck air as you remove the gun from the joint, it can block the nozzle.

Turnigy High Quality 10AWG Silicone Wire 9m (Black) for $3.02
Turnigy High Quality 20AWG Silicone Wire 15m (Black)  150000148-0   A$0.79

I happened to be on the HK website looking for wire, of all things, when the sale started (a few hours before it was announced) and there seemed to be quite a few anomalies in pricing (way too low). My order(s) are on the way now as order fulfilled.. then there was this...

Big Power Mini Metal 8 In 1 Kit (W/O Power Supply)  672000001-0   A$29.02
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/big-power-mini-metal-8-in-1-kit-w-o-power-supply.html 

Which I couldn't walk away from. As usual with HK it's all a bit hit and miss, especially when the world catches on that there's a sale and the website goes into limp mode.

I'll do my best - it is a delicate beast. The back cover is unusual and wants to crack from just a dirty look. It is like the plastic has rapidly aged.
