My brother had a cat flap door at his house some years ago. The cat at first went slowly through it, then as it got more confident it went through it faster and faster till finally it would go through at full gallop. Then one day the microwave oven conked out so it was lifted off the kitchen bench and placed by the front door to later be heaved outside. Trouble is, it was hard up against and blocking the cat flap. Later on, cat gets home from cat work and attempts to come in through the immovable cat flap at half the speed of light... It was a collision the guys at CERN would be proud of. Every day after that for the next several weeks the cat would paw the flap and test it before going through.

Here is my main bench with all sort of things. There are many other things standing arround. Like industrial sensors and industrial PLC's, old educational stuff from Siemens and some little projects. Most of my tools are in drawers. There are two things i want to improve. One thing is the lighting of the bench. Sometimes its horrible to work. The other thing is, i am searching for a good way to digitize my old inverted microscope. It has a great magnification and its nice for looking at semiconductor structures. But its hard to take pictures from the focusing screen.

Here's a Hobby bench but please try to ignore that Despised DSO there as its just waiting to get blown up when I can afford a "real" one .
Too late. Is that an Owon? Can't really make it out...

I did type "Try to" but you succumbed , yep its one of them..
The wood dowel on the floor is for a future loop antenna , that's a modified catv splitter with 4 outputs on the wall for vlf/hf behind the shortwave radio's , a old 25amp power supply and a old standard piston and a new 3mm larger piston for the motorbike which has 4 .
The little black box with red sticker on the left on the beam is a TCI (transistor controlled ignition), its a job yet to be done to evaluate it as I have 3 tci spares and 1 misses on 2 cylinder at 1700rpm until 2100rpm , i'll use the Level generator (top large thing on bench) for the trigger input and watch the output .
Soon

Still a work in progress... An older collection of equipment I think should be useful for some time.

My current lab.
Polar toneohm 950 multilayer shorts locator
GW Instek GFG-8219A function gen
Rigol DS1052E software updated to 100MHz
Keithley 196 system dmm. Not working perfectly. I will probably get another bench dmm in the near future.
Tenma 72-10505 triple oputput psu. 2x 30V 2A and 5V 3A.
HP 6632B psu 20V 5A in the self build rack
Advance Instruments OS250TV 10MHz
Megger BM222 insulation & continuity tester
Batronix M85 cheap dmm
Batronix M220 even cheaper dmm
Atten 858D
CT-963 soldering station. According to my teacher made at the same factory from the same parts as Hakko. So fake but not cheap Chinese fake.
I also might be getting a Metcal soldering station at some point.

The funniest thing about this signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything its too late to stop reading it.

My current measurement setup: DSO9254 + DPO7104. Both are good scopes, but they make a terrible noise, especially the TEK.


Oh my! :o :rant:
How did you get those two?

Lucky lucky you!
Yeah, I play Minecraft!
But I'm on here more because I learn more. :D

Probably they are at his job...
I'm not saying we should kill all stupid people. I'm just saying that we should remove all product safety labels and let natural selection do its work.

"ever" is a long time.  In 25 years, some hobbyist somewhere will luck out or they'll be cheap enough to buy on a hobbyist budget.

Assuming that today's 'sophisticated profit-driven corporate management' hasn't deliberately embedded deliberate drop-dead features deep into scopes like this. Their market strategy would be so much simpler if there wasn't _any_ such equipment functioning much after its scheduled depreciation lifetime.

I guess we'll find out if that's the case, in less than a decade.

Here's my "lab". I will admit it's there's usually a lot more crap on the bench, I cleaned it up just a few days ago...

Cyr, a very nice collection.
Your comment of the desk being tidy now reminded me of the joke of " a clean desk being an indicator of a dirty mind".
Whoah! Watch where that landed we might need it later.
