Got me a Wavetek model 2001 SP5 Sweep generator + the accompanying XY CRT-monitor VP3830A from National.
Not today but a few days ago, having absolutely no practical need for this item, I succumbed to the cuteness factor,. Tek 310a initially DOA, now working perfectly.
Yeah. that's a beauty, and the front panel looks mint.

That is a thing of beauty.
If some company made those today, they'd sell like hotcakes.
Just ordered some 2 mm banana leads and crocodile clips from RS - to make up the order (to over £50 - and free delivery) I added some solder and a couple of AT28C256 chips - everything ready for dispatch tomorrow bar the solder
RS just gets more farcical
talking of capitalism - I bought the full set of Art of Electronics - strangely reminiscent of the three volumes of Das Kapital

The latest acquisitions.
Time Electronics 1051 resistance box arrived today, 35€ posted, can't find anything wrong with it
Should be handy when I get round to the Philips PM2534 that has lost calibration.

Nice price! Your picture had me wondering for a second before I scrolled down how you'd use a SA to test a resistance decade

When / if you get round to such an usage case, I'd be curious to know how well it does with aluminium.
Sorry not planned for now, I don't have the spool gun, nor the Argon gas bottle, and don't plan to buy soon.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but the military memorabilia thread can be found... Oh wait, we don't have one because this is an electronics forum. I'm sure you are really happy about having bought this item, which I can fully understand, but what has it to do with electronics? I don't post pictures of the bag of potatoes I bought today for exactly the same reason. Can we keep our purchases on topic too please?

sorry for the OT posts
Saw some non electronic posts here, I had thought some may be interested......
Will limit to electronic related

Vector monitor that displays in the video monitor itself. Good find, gets rid of the clunky Sony/Tek machine I have now that's very difficult to get working.
I have officially got too many multimeters, but I haven't got too many PSU's, so :-
Last bit of brand M measuring gear 'for now'
arrived this morning. For those of us in the metricated world all three are ex Japan and were a chunk cheaper than what else was around evilbay (0-25 are new). The last digit is into the noise for most of what I do but it's nice to have.

It's DC only, not really much use with aluminium.

No need to be sorry, at least with me.
I like seeing other random stuff that dorks like us crave besides electronic things.
Well the eBay seller just refunded my purchase stating they found "an issue", for an as-is listing. Instead of contacting me about the issue, they refunded me. I assume the "issue" was the 30$ B-I-N price...

Same here, who know if I don't get something other to collect.
Ahhhh I'm getting my toy after all, they refunded me because the thing didn't power up and now that this is cleared up they sold it to me again.
Road bike pedals with titanium axle.
200 euro, brand new! Very expensive!
I see the difference with steel axle pedals.
Am I titanium-addicted?
