Haven't received it yet. It is "as is, for parts", no goodies shown in the eBay pictures. It's mostly because I'll finally get to take one apart myself, and hopefully fix it. Dave already took one apart.

Good luck. My 102 has been working flawlessly, but my Model 100 (I got a few years ago) has a very intermittent issue where, from time to time, it refuses to turn on for many retries, only to magically turn on again with absolutely no apparent reason. Any memory contents are completely wiped when this happens.
I have tried many things to make it reliable again, to no avail. I need to bring it back to my desk and try different approaches.

I am very boring.
Those 27C4096 came with someone's code on it...
I got another TDS210 complete with a pair of probes and also a differential probe. I've after one of those for ages now and I'm looking forward to its arrival tomorrow so I can have a little play with it

do you know what year it is ? the early ones had a recall iirc
I haven't got a clue until it arrived tomorrow
Always wanted one of these, used them in college.
New toy day!
Got a Yokogawa/HP 4276A LCZ meter for just under 10000yen delivered (about a hundred bucks).
Cleaned up nice for the photo (also I replaced the strips of wood it had foam taped to the bottom for feet with proper HP ones), and if I can track down the required obsolete semiconductors and transistors, I reckon I might be able to build the Option 001 DC Bias Board Assembly. The full schematics, BOM and board layout are in the service manual which is awesome.
It also needs a new 2.4V NiCd battery and maybe a card edge connector due to the usual leakage and corrosion, and a replacement fan, but it apparently works according to the seller.......
Too bad the front terminal addon options are so stupidly expensive... I might have to put the 3D printer to work to rig up a terminal slot thingo for quick testing.
I also got a fistful of capacitors from Digikey today to replace the old ones in my 8903B Audio Analyzer too.
Surprisingly almost all the caps are tantalum throughout, with only the main bulk smoothing caps and a couple others (which I think are bulk smoothing/decoupling too probably) being aluminium electrolytic.

Its arrived and it is not one of those involved in the recall, it a far newer unit and I haven't opened it up to see what the year is.
A circuit break finder. My parents live in a big house with a some what old electrical installation and there is no identification for the breakers in the panel (and there are nearly 30 of them) or any diagram available so I hope it will help me organize the things a bit.

Well my gosh I just searched for it on Ebay and it's only $18, how can I pass it up?

A Tonghui TH26001A is an option. These can be bought on ebay and aliexpress for 40 USD.
It fitted my ZXP:

Oh nice! What's the distance between the BNC jacks, center to center?
Standard spacing is 22mm, like:
(picture is from another LCR meter, so discard the 3.5mm hole)
How sweet, I've got two like that, both with white noses, chest and 4 white socks on their feet, has your labcat got all 4 feet white?
@flash2b, thanks, that's confirmed my measurements 22mm spacing. I need to make an adaptor with a pair of 4mm screw terminals because the SMD tweezers are useless for larger parts.
Not test equipment, but going to give it a service... New belts and caps.
Spotted this in a Charity shop today, couldn't leave it there...
Marantz (Superscope) CD-330 Professional Cassette Recorder.
It does actually play, but the belts are worn, gave it a quick wipe down and seems it's hardly been used.
Cost me the grand sum of £10!!!!
Doesn't have to be test equipment, its electronics and thats what really counts in my book

I've got an obsession with vintage hifi, test equipment, electronics and computers. I'm becoming a hoarder!
I love that blue display, reminds me of my Passat I used to have. Blue seems to a great colour for digital displays.

It's nice, but is it using a full digit for just the decimal point?
