My updated lab plus a close-up.

Can you tell us what you have there on the bench?

Going from left to right and top to bottom:

Keithley 2280S-32-6 Precision Measurement Power Supply (There is actually a deal going on now - 10% off Testequity)
Fluke 87V Multimeter in its case
Agilent E3630A Power Supply
Agilent E3648A Power Supply
Agilent E3632A Power Supply
Stanford Research Systems FS730/1 10 MHz Clock Distribution Amplifier
Agilent 53230A 350MHz Frequency Counter with 15GHz RF option
Agilent 34461A 6.5 Digit Multimeter
Agilent 34401A 6.5 Digit Multimeter
Rigol DG5071 Arbitrary Waveform/Function Generator
Rigol DS1062CA 60MHz 2GSa/s oscilloscope

I'm thinking about doing a tear down of the new Keithley power supply but I would rather Dave do it so I can enjoy watching him critique it. That and I'm a baby when it comes to taking apart new equipment. The Agilent power supplies I bought off of Ebay and repaired but lots of other people have done tear downs of those so I couldn't be bothered.

Yeah, I need to get an actual bench but I'll most likely be moving in about 1.5-2 years and don't want the hassle of taking along stuff that won't fit in my car. All the stuff in my lab now can fit into my car and be transported to a different location in a single trip. I'll get some good benches after moving.

Hello,

here are some photos of my current lab setup.
The test equipment is mounted into a fully movable rack, which is quite heavy.
Power and data cables as well as cooling water for the electronic load comes from the top side.

All I can say is "You don't mess around!"
The products you manufacture/test obviously can fund the equipment it seems. Well done and a truly impressive setup.
I do like your AM5030S current probe amplifiers.

This is from tidying up :)

out of the bottom of the pic, boxes of components that need to be binned up top.
left side is all pinball and amiga parts and such, right side is the pc and test equipment connected to a nice multiswitch power rack connected to a furman line conditioner

It's been over a month since I got a business license for my calibration lab. I took a picture of one side of my lab to upgrade eBay store picture.
Ha-ha-ha. That's good, too!

Thanks.

That is 1958. I use 1689 or SRS 720 for calibration work, though.

Here is an image taken from a very old book that shows the lab/shack of a keen radio and electronics enthusiast from pre 1920.

Almost 100 years ago!

Mine after i gave it a bit of a clean up. For it's normal state imagine something half way between this and Jim William's lab. The big MDF thing is a baffle for measuring loudspeakers, if you were wondering.

Amazing! Get a BGA rework station there and you'll need nothing else! :)

Congratulations for the gear and organization

Wow, that's a lot of equipment! What are the thing on top of the second stack from the right in the first photo, and everything in the left two stacks in the third photo?
I refuse to use AD's LTspice or any other "free" software whose license agreement prohibits benchmarking it (which implies it's really bad) or publicly disclosing the existence of the agreement. Fortunately, I haven't agreed to that one, and those terms are public already.

Thanks, I spend a lot of time in my lab. I attached a couple close shots of your question.

The Global Specialties RC10 is an R-C Series/Parallel proto box. Basically allows you to setup quickly any combination of an RC circuit within the supplied ranges. Works a treat!

Third pic equipment list as follows:

1) UnRegulated Elenco AC/DC power supply. Not really used much since it's unregulated. Occasionally I use it for transformer testing and etc.
2) Ikegami 1.5KVDC precision power supply.
3) Kepco 0-150VDC Power Supply. Very stable and precise supply.
4) BK Precision 1655A AC Supply with Leakage test probe. (Precision Variac)
5) GW Instek HiPot tester. 200VA

Hope this helps!
