Looking good, luiziko014. Cool clock!

Thanks... I do with arduino and max7219 driver module
Hello all, this is Mehmet, NA5B. Greetings from Washington DC Area.
Here is one of my electronics benches at home where I break things most of the time! I love spending my time here playing with test equipments! :-)
Thank you.

One of them? Wow! Nice setup.
Thank you. I will post the others as soon as I clean them. They are big mess now! :-)
Welcome, Mehmet. Wowzers, I'd like to inherit your benches.

I don't even know what half of those devices are supposed to be.

Someone introduce this guy to Shariar

Among maybe half of the other stuff, I've recognized the R2600. This dinosaur appears to be pretty popular with HAMs. Some time ago I bought a broken one, repaired it and wrote a repair story. Since then I've had some five to ten people (presumably all of them were HAMs) asking various kinds of questions about my repair, though I never actively pushed that story (except from putting it onto my homepage).
Anyway, quite an impressive amount of RF stuff in your lab.
I had a clean up today and organised many things into the new cabinet on the left.

I am not fan of these Motorola Service Monitors. They are very bulky with very minimal functions loaded. I have three of them and two are with SA options. One has a problem and I need to work on it or I might just keep for spare parts.
The Mancave is clean and I can see the workbench for the first time in a couple of years.
It won't last long...
WOW, pretty nice, SLJ.
How many of the radios work?
My bench was clean ONCE. Whenn I bought all the gear and stuff and put it away. I don't think I'll ever get it clean off completely again. Too many projects.
Clean? What does that mean?
Clean is used as a verb around here. SWMBO points to my bench and says it. Usually after it is so deep in crap I've migrated to the living room table and destroyed that as well

Thankfully, my bench is in my office which is NOT common space so she doesn't tell me what to do in here. She did, however, help me get things organized by buying 2 medical chart shelving units that the practice was getting rid of and now the whole office is clean at this moment. Once I add a couple of new toys to the bench I am picking up Monday night, I will post a new set of pics of the whole space.

How many of the radios work?
All the radios work except maybe one which is untouched, but it's mostly antique test equipment. I think there's only four or five radios in the photos. I use to have around 300 but they all did the same thing so I sold most of them and switched to early test equipment which I find much more interesting.

Of course they all work...silly me
So over a year has passed and it's time for a bench update. Things have improved somewhat.
October 2017:
Same workspace now but there has been a cull and a lot of simplification, organisation and optimisation of space. I have been focusing on projects and on obtaining kit I can maintain as I fully intend to stop working ASAP. Only things that have been kept are a PL310, the lamp and the wire strippers
December 2018:
Top to bottom: Fluke 8010A, 8012A, TTi PL310, boxes of parts (this is all I own now, down from 100kg of crap in cupboards), HP 33120A, TTi TF930, Yaesu FT-818ND, deadpool, optimus prime, groot, vision, nick fury, TTi PL154, HP 6236B, Tek TDS210, Metcal PS-900, Fluke 87V. Hiding underneath is a Tek 475A with DM44 you can barely see (in storage until I can be bothered with it) and a Tek 2235. Cupboard still contains a 465.
Has been a good year

You missed 1 buddy... can you spot it?
that's still a hek load of gear though so you can be forgiven
BM867. Bloody huge thing as well
Meant to say as well. My net expenditure on all this is actually £0. 90% of everything was broken and everything was funded by buying broken stuff and fixing it.

Yup... that's the 1!
I'll forgive you but I don't know if your 867s will be so amicable! It may play up a little now!
That's not a bad track record for all that gear!
I'm thick so have to pay full price on everything!
I keep hunting Ebay to see if there's a broken plug needing a fuse changed out or whatever going cheap as that is more my level of being able to fix things. Then I can say "I got something cheap and fixed it up"!
