Damn... you should have put "Warranty void if removed" on it...
Finally - after all those years - a drill stand. Oh, and a GQ-4x4.

Proxxon makes good stuff. I have the TBM115 drill and MF70 mill. I bought them in 2004. They were expensive even back then, but I have never regretted the purchase.
Yeah, I have the benefit of living a train ride from Akihabara, so most of my kit is repaired surplus stuff from junk stores.
My latest junk purchase is a $35 HP3478A that only needs a few things to make it fully functional.
Now I'm asking me, how to operate that device because the documentation is a little bit confusing for me. And is it possible to take the DB9 <-> USB FTDI converter? I have already one here so i wouldn't need to buy one.

No. The DB9 is TTL. Do a search here for this. Isolated USB adapters are available or you can make one.

Just need a voltage ref 1/3rd of the full scale on each dc range, a known dc current, some 0.1% resistors and follow the steps in the service manual.
From mobile device so predictive text might have struck again [emoji83]

Yes, i already saw the instructions for that, but that is too much fiddling, printing a board, get SMD components. Maybe there is some china-made adapters?
PS and fan for repairs. Bonus gray beard points to the first person to identify the device being repaired. Note that, as well as +5 and +24, it relies on 120V 60 cycle AC for proper operation.

Well I reckon it's going to be an Amiga 2000/1500
