Yesterday afternoon ordered, today at the morning arrived:
Nice building quality....
Looks good. I'll be surprised if I'm alive at 75, much less riding a supersport.
Don't worry, it happens to most of us!
One day you are in your forties, wishing you could retire, next thing, you
are retired, & it just speeds up from there.

Once you are retired you realise the old adage is true:
"Life is like a roll of toilet paper: it goes faster the closer you get to the end...."

Comedian Billy Connolly used to point out the day you know you're getting old is when the doctor stops being concerned about what's happening on the front and is more interested in what's going on 'round the back.
Always wanted one but not for the crazy asking prices. Spotted one for € 35 and it's on my bench now
That's a very good price ! Congrats.
Hope you need it, I have one... I don't use (yet). TEA syndrom probably.

I own one of those! I swear it! I have photographic evidence of it being in my lab. If only I could find it again. Last time I saw it was approx. 2006. But I have it! It is probably wrapped in bubble-wrap and stuck inside a piece of gear... Let me see...
I used to use one of those at work a lot, back in the day.
Nice device!
how they work? can it be used with fluke 187?
i know i can probably google it but as the discussion is going on here
It's a resistive divider, all it needs is a meter with a 10M input
A KEMO lead bending tool:
Well, I bought a Quad QSA30 pick and place machine from an auction in Austin, TX for $500. Wow, I had no idea it would go so cheap.
Now, I have to arrange getting it packed and shipped to me.
The guy who paid $3275 for the Samsung CP45FV that had been partially disassembled may have a very unpleasant surprise.
Most of the other P&P machines did not sell.

I got this
No, not an electronic device, but it has plenty of electronics inside, full sound and DCC.
Today I received a nice parcel from Bürklin:
Some solder from Felder:
2x 500g 1.0mm Sn60Pb39Cu1
1x 500g 0.5mm Sn60Pb39Cu1
1x 250g 0.75mm Sn62Pb36Ag2
1x 250g 0.5mm Sn62Pb36Ag2
10 + 10 red and black 4mm banana plugs from Stäubli Multi-Contact
Mean Well 24V/65W SMPS, Schurter power entry module, JST connectors to replace the external power adapter of my HP Z3805A.
Scored a 4275A for $5, with a spare parts unit and all the options. (Except the bias voltage control box, anyone got one to sell?)
I think I paid too much.

Must be great to be able to throw around such extravagance.
A license of VMWare Workstation Pro. Managing another computer is just too tedious, so I sold my Windows laptop and migrated all my remaining Windows apps to the VM.
And no, I'm tired of fighting VirtualBox's myriad of bugs.
VMWare is a great VM. I've been using it for the past 12 years and it got much better over the years. Only a handul things do jot work that well.
Won a used AMP 59250 crimp tool from eBay for 50 dollarydoos woohoooooo. (these retail for ~USD1400 new)
The 59250 is on the top/right, I like that it can do both sizes of my old tools (47386/47387) and it's a bit more compact to boot. The closer handle distance means it's a bit easier to squeeze/grip with my girly hands but the actual force seeeems to be about the same as the others.
Looks to be working just fine but I'll have to do some DIY tensile strength testing later. For my home hobbyist use I think it's more than adequate, a quick test shows that I have no chance of pulling a crimp terminal off a wire with my hands (the spec for 16awg wire was something like 20kg force from memory).
I got myself a laser "pointer": A 270W 915+980 nm diode laser for a price that was probably below scrap metal value (guys, don't ever start ebay auctions at 1€... [unless it's for stuff that i want, then it's perfectly fine]).
Not quite sure what i'll do with it, as it was purchased because of cheap and not because of need. I'll probably take it apart and sell the optics as i do not plan on using a laser that requires 50A@25V (good luck trying to find a power supply for that thing).
And of course it's not any old diode laser: This is a made in germany, no expense spared machine. Just take a look at the top cover, it looks suspiciously like someone took a 40x40cm aluminum chunk and removed roughly 90% of the material... The aluminum alone will set you back nearly 100 backs.

I'm not extremely jealous...
*makes jealous noises*
@jogri What a score. Are you sure that milled ingot is just aluminium? If it is, then it's likely to be some alloy they make into satellites.
@jogri 25V 50A is not that difficult. If you have 3phase power supply at you house you can try Simens SITOP40 PLC power supply.
I found this version cheap on ebay, although used, quality is perfect.
Can you give us more pictures of this masterpiece? Especially driver board that can handle 50A?
