Nice score! Mine needed a tantalum cap in one of the modules. That thing's a backbreaker, huh?

Good grief yes. I think the two person lift sticker may have actually been factory applied. When I built my present work area, I put some gouges into one of the work surfaces wrestling it into place by myself because I nobody was available to help me with it and I pulled some muscles pretty badly doing it to the point I was beginning to worry if I'd given myself a hernia but thankfully not.
I've bought a DER EE DE-5000 handheld LCR meter for U$122 + 14U$ shipping:
Some AD587KN + AD7535JN + 5x OP07CJ
Some USB type A to USB micro type B adapter cable:
Some SMA PCB connectors:
And a RF Demo Kit for the NanoVNA:
I think, most of them will arrive after XMAS. But that's how it is.

Back in the day, where I worked, we travelled all over the State doing routine testing on TV sites.
Amongst the pile of equipment we took with us was a R&S "Polyskop SWOB" (one of several at the Depot), which was seriously heavy & had a similar sticker.
We would get a courier service to take things to airfreight & would travel on the same plane.
On several occasions,the Polyskop would arrive at the other end inoperative & making ominous rattling noises.
It turned out someone, either in the airline ground crew, or the couriers would read the sticker, grunt "bloody wimps" & pick it up by themselves.
You could do so, but putting it down, they would invariably, drop it the last 150mm (6"), causing the heavy bits inside to break loose from their mountings & fall through the fragile bits!

Perhaps load it down with another 10-15kg of steel plates, or make the housing more robust by that amount! :p

I have preemptively prepared thanks to Steam and brought Doom and Wolfenstein The New Colossus for $20 AU pesos in a two pack deal. 60GB for Doom would want to be a touch better than the original I played way back when.... Might reinforce and put a lock on the inside of my shack door to keep the family out too.
Merry Christmas and Bah Humbug to all.
I agree! You got a decent deal there my friend
Good price.
This is non technical... well maybe slightly technical: I bought a drawing of some anime characters to use as a curtain on my server rack. This piece of printed cloth features the two heroines of the game and the anime White Album 2.
