I was very pleased when this arrived today:
Now if only I can find a cheap one that happens to go to 26.5 GHz to match the full range of the VNA.
What VNA do you have?
Oh, it's only a cable.
But at 1.99+4.99€, I consider it a good grab.
Luckily, the seller did not mention 'triax' in the headline.

Sweet!!! That was a steal! Congrats!
Now that's a score! The connector on the end of that cable is worth more than the price and shipping combined.
How did you manage to find it then? Just happened to come across it while looking for some other cable?
For all the people who work with audio/stereo gear:
For many years I've wanted a Sound Technology ST1701A oscillator/distortion analyzer unit.

Finally found one priced right ( < $150 USD) on ebay. Was listed as "not working/for parts or repair only"
It arrived yesterday.
Awesome piece of gear. Really well constructed. Nothing appears to be missing or damaged except for AC mains fuseholder cap
I will be giving it a thorough inspection and will replace electrolytic caps which have high ESR before I start using it.
I'm 100% positive that I can get this unit to perform perfectly.
The price was certainly right, if you can restore it into prime working condition.
Can I ask what is the draw to this particular unit? It seems to be a stand-out model, I am curious to know why.
I had been using a HP 8903B, and upgraded to a Panasonic VP-7722A about 1 year ago (or was it two?). I sold the HP on the forum here just weeks ago. The Panny is quite capable, with a residual of 0.00023% THD+N or 0.00008% (0.8 ppm) THD only, first 20 harmonics.

Nice one, elecdonia. They're also known to have switch issues. So, you'll want to check all of them (there sure are a lot).
I finally decided to take a picture of my $5 oscilloscope, the HP 54201D. I was told that it wasn't working but it was money to my ham club. Along with that, I got a Wavetek 186 5 MHz phase lock generator that was supposed to be working but isn't. Trying to work with Erik at Wavetek to find a service manual for it.
I am displaying an approximately 13 MHz sine wave from my not warmed up HP 3312A FG. The UI is.....................interesting. I am starting to get the hang of it. Quirky, like me. My first thought was to see if I could sell it on and maybe make a bit of cash on it but the more I read the manual and play with it, the more I like it. I think, for now, that I will keep it. It also has the 3 10271A state data probes but no grabbers and only 1 connector with wires. So far it has cleaned up well on the outside. I do need to replace the velcro that holds the pouch closed. I haven't peeked under her skirt yet. If/when I do, I will post additional pics.
Just scored a HP 5350B, it was going to be ewasted
Seen in attached photo with a 5315A I scored last year free, saved from ewaste

I owned one of those a decade ago, didn't keep it long though.
6 bit ADC's I could just about live with but the UI was just too much to handle.
