It was measuring itself, just for fun
Those Agilent instruments you can see on my pciture is 34465A and 33220A.
@Blueskull, nice unit, big isn't it! I like the 'kit' you get with it, a lot of extra bits in a good box.

Cool design. Is the cover conductive?
McBryce.
One of these. It would be about 1991 the last time I had direct walk in and totally free access to a cal lab.

Yes -It's difficult to get a clear reading (I don't want to stab the beautiful top too much), but it is conductive.
My new bench power supply (GW Instek GPS-4303) besides my old one which is barely working/surviving
I got this one from the ebay returns shop of conrad.de. It was described as used with signs of usage and without cables. But this baby is completely new with all the equipment and even protective foil on the display
We have many of these units at work and besides that we have only replaced the fan, we never had an issue with them
Found this AVO meter locally, with the original leather case! I couldn't pass it up, this will go great with my Simpson 260's!

Great meter, I have one set up on my bench and use it regularly, mainly for measuring DUT load.

You can find Service manuals for these online, they are a classic old meter especially with their 2.5kV ratings.
I've got a
few of them including a later AVO 8 Mk 5 that has a 3kV range.
Very handy when needed.

My father still uses one of these, but he bought his NEW back when they were still being sold!

I'm really happy I bought this meter. It's got so much more weight to it than my Simpsons. I've spent some time today cleaning it. The BR121 15V battery was dead measuring under 6V no load. I didn't want to spend close to what I paid for the meter for a new battery, so I bought 5x CR2032 3v batteries for $5 and made a small battery pack for the meter. Works perfectly. I didn't want to modify the meter so I just soldered it onto the battery tabs, easily reversible!

Yep those 15V batteries are ridiculously expensive.
My fix was similar but with 5x LR44's and some copper tubing cut to make the same length as the 15V battery and all covered in shrink sleeve and it fits in the meters battery holder just perfect.
Not exactly today's purchase, however, a 7410 arrived which enabled me to bring this Racal 9835 back to life. I purchased the Racal a few weeks ago as a restoration project. It has obviously not been used for several years but the calibration is spot-on. Now that it works I can turn my attention to tarting it up. When the nixies are in the case there is a filter which gives a nice red glow.
(7410 = old school TTL chip, triple input nand - none of your modern low power rubbish
)
I just unpacked a FLUKE 8050A with field bag that I got from eBay late last week. I had seen hard cases for army units, but never seen this bag. The unit seems to work. I still need to determine if the battery can hold any charge. $15 plus very reasonable shipping.

Nice, I got one at a local hamfest for $10 but it didn't have the bag. It's OK for a basic meter.

Congrats BFX! You've probably got the best equipment bench in Slovakia by now
