My latest purchase is a Picoscope DS2407B!

They don't get the love around here so much because they are a bit pricy compared to the many good performing desktop scopes available these days (Rigol, etc.), but last year I was looking for something I could throw in my laptop bag easily and didn't have to worry about hauling a desktop scope around.  I bought the 2 channel version of this one (DS2207B) last year because I figured two channels meant more portable, less probes, etc.  My theory was that it would shine mostly for its portability compared to a desktop scope, but I found that it is so easy to use I prefer to use it instead of my desktop scopes!  Given that and that I often would like a 3rd or 4th channel, I decided to pickup the 4 channel version.  One thing I like is that the bandwidth is much better than the 70 MHz specification.  I've measured 2ns rise/fall times on its channels.

BTW, the "color" coded channels are my addition with color laser printed stickers.  Pico should have done that from the factory though...

Bought this junk from auction for less than one dollar. Still had nixie tubes on it.





Salvaged the tubes and the transformer.

Nice tubes. And they have a proper '5' in them. I don't like the ones where the '5' looks like a flipped over '2'.

Nice Tubes!

I bought a Vision Engineering Dynascan TS3 it has an old style Hatachi VK-C150 color video camera.

I need a  power supply and manual for the camera.

Anyone know what power connector this is?

Could be one of these absurd expensive Fischer connectors.

These look like Hirose HR10's

These look like Hirose HR10's

That would be my very first guess.  Japanese camera manufacturers were/are very fond of Hirose.  They are widely used in broadcast audio and video gear.

Martin. We must know more about that bowl. It's Tek green!

I ordered a BG7TBL GPS disciplined oscillator. I think I'm going to get involved with some serious time nuttery so it seemed like a useful tool to me.

I am not one of them, so could you please explain the significance?

Oh, and a random ebay purchase arrived today. Bid on it for a lark and then surprisingly won it because nobody else went for it.

Its one of the hard to get un-obtainium chip for those Tek scopes, and certain cases it will die prematurely or acting up that made these high speed analog scope useless.
