Well, racapped most of the PSU. Gonna call it "Symphony In Wuerth Red". Just a few piss ant small caps left, forgot the bag at home .
All caps measure fine this far, not even below nominal. I know it doesn'tell the whome stoty (don't have an ESR meter). But still, in terms of job satisfaction this is pretty much a dud this far.

I hate the German Telekom! Arrogant fucking incompetent bastards!
To be exact: I hate some of ther managers, which decides dumb things!

I need to connect the 6890 to the telephone line connection box. VoIP via LTE is not possible.

just use morse code with a sufficiently strong pulse laser. That will get their attention.
And look at the state of America now
I digress. We’re no better here.

You're better off without the fuckin' thing; the way they made that lil' bastard, the card is right in your way anytime you want to change the handle, and you have to hold your hand in an awkward position to change the temp unless it's up on the shelf.
If I'd been arsed to hack the stupid thing on mine, I might have discovered whatever fault it had BEFORE it died in a blazing fireball of toxic smoke.
BTW, welcome to semi-civilized soldering iron country; let me know when you get tired of the mentally-defective firmware on that thing and want to convert to a nice user-friendly OLED T12 controller.

Fan wiring in an old HP bench power supply. I'm sure it didn't leave the factory like this. But who does something like that (Attachment Link)

Confirmed, the second Anritsu i can keep as a part unit, they don't want it back.
i have a teardown and test if interested.

Gorillas in the Mist.
The only fly in the otherwise pristine ointment is the absence of the control card, needed to change temperature settings, though I'm sure I can hack that in pretty short order, my guess is it's just a safety interlock type thing.
The ad did mention "no card" though I didn't know what that meant...
Does make me wonder if the slow dispatch speed was a case of seller's remorse. Typo on BIN price maybe? [/color][/size][/b]
Mnem ... an exercise in consistency. We can always trust you to take things just that little bit too far - but to entertaining degrees.
What worries me is that I like it.

You keep bitching about your experiences with that Hakko and I have no issues with mine. Works fine.
Sounds like an operator issue to me.

Easily hacked. The card blocks photo diodes.
