I went and bought a hook sold as a garage hook. Mostly used to hold rakes and brooms in the garage, but has 1 or 2 hooks on a common mount that is nice and large. $2 each at the DIY store.

I couldn't figure out what that comment was all about, since all I saw when I clicked on the link was a blank page.

Turns out their website was perpetrated by one of those 'designers' who believe people who disable Javascript on unfamiliar websites don't deserve so much as an error message  :rant:

That PHYWE multimeter must have come from some school or university. The PHYWE company produces many school physics equipment.

Yes it was school equipment . The display is very huge and beautiful but the multimeter is crap . It is not a true RMS meter and the 10 A range is not fused . Maybe it was designed by a father of a pupil who didn t like the teacher of physics at school   >:D . Well it s a relabled multimeter , the boards are from IMPO Electronic A/S Denmark , also a maker of school demonstration multimeter and other stuff like that .

Ok here is a pic how I hook my testing leads . Well the hook is not the best and a little too small but it works  ;D

After seeing all these repair setups I feel somewhat inadequate.  Most of my stuff is ancient.  Some seriously nice setups here!!

Ok, glad to see some like vintage stuff here... LOL

Is a bit messy but have been busy with projects again.  At least it keeps me out of trouble....







After seeing all these repair benches I think I may have found a home of like minded folks to share with.

Niiiice!  I'm not a ham and don't recognize any of the radio gear. But your 'old' test gear is my idea of beautiful.
What's the huge gray Navy-style bit of gear in lower right in the first pic?

Ha ha. You have a funny idea of 'messy'.
