I feel like I got a new iPad today, I'm genuinely shocked at how much more responsive my old Air 2 is after installing iOS 12!
I ended up getting 1 of these yesterday....
Random HV diodes/capacitors and terminal tie strips see if you can see where i am going with this.
(I will give you a hint i got a 2.5kv mains transformer)
I got some big chips today:
* AM1808
* TMS320C6748
* XC6SLX16-2FTG256C
All of which in BGA packages. I have a free sample of UniIC DDR3 too
(P.s. I wonder how profitable is it now to start a cryptocurrency mine on my spare FPGA dev board, based on EP4CE6F17C8N)

you're at least 5 years too late
I picked up another cool thing from Akihabara today... I just can't resist buying more stuff, even when I am 'behind schedule' on my restorations by multiple bits of gear....
Just gotta find a user and/or service manual for it now.... Then I'll know how to calibrate and test the thing to find what's wrong with it.
(The store also had a big ol' DC programmable load for about 50 bucks too, but it's a bit big for anything but a dedicated trip to grab it... I kinda want it pretty bad though.)
Brought a couple of 2KV 100MHz probes.

I had that kit for a few years already collecting dust... D'oh!

Neat!

I hate to break it to you, but you've got a serious case of
GAS. We, the similarly afflicted, welcome you!
Another 3458A for 500$ + shipping.
Exciting! For that price, is there anything left inside?

Oh, I know full well of my affliction... I both love it and hate it.
A Keithley 617 Electrometer for 150$ and a variac 0-260VAC 2A for 30$.
A CubeX duo 3D printer, along with a half dozen NIB boxes of filament, and it has 2 in it as well. Cost me driving there to collect it, thanks Steve!
Now to figure out how to use it, and also see if i can get the rest of the toolkit for it.

That looks like a nice one, why did Steve let it go, he got something better?
He is moving his business, and it popped up in the move, unused for a while. Big move, in physical terms he moved 20m, but this has taken him nearly 3 months so far, as he still has to keep on running his manufacturing side with no disruption in the orders being delivered to his big customers. Nice machinery there, a lot of it PLC and specialist, and he is definitely passionate about having it working to the best it can do.
I just noticed this thread has passed one million views. Amazing!
My present frequency counter is an HP 5384A that only goes to 225MHz.
Picked up this Systron Donner 6054B from the hamfest. It handles 20Hz to 18GHz with 1Hz resolution, oven stabilised oscillator and GPIB interface.
Also included was a second unit without the covers as a "spare".
A few repairs later both units now meet specifications from the user and service manuals from ArtekManuals and checked against a GPS disciplined Trimble.

Nice haul, 2 for the price of one, I like it[emoji106]

Nice catch. The 617 usually goes for crazy money on eBay.
Rail gun And a really high voltage supply for use with CRTs and may also make a very high voltage probe tester. (:
Oh and i was replying to BlueSkull.

Make sure to report back when you manage to zap your scope .
Jokes aside, be safe.
Its okay i have 3! Haha thanks friend you to!
