My go to scope is a TDS-1002.....
Finally broke down and ordered a Maynuo M9812. Soon begins my next educational phase as I learn more of the fine art of power supply design.
I'm bouncing with anticipation. I've already got a list a mile long of things I want to do with it -- that's how I narrow down what type of equipment I buy next.
Arrived in the post: a few ICs: ssc620 PWM, Low EMI, Auto Standby Low Power Off-line SMPS Primary Switcher. To fix my daughter's PC speaker amp. Took a while in the post from Hong Kong.
And when it turned out that IC in the amp wasn't faulty after all (it sure had put on a good appearance of being utterly lifeless) a MBR20100CT dual schottky power diode from Jaycar, to replace both the output diodes. One of which was a dead short, and why hadn't I noticed that in the first place? Sigh.
Also: 4 liters each of Acetone and Iso Propyl Alcohol, plus a cable entry for an induction motor I'm restoring.
Oh, and don't choke while eating breakfast at the computer.
I was at Home Depot today and these caught my eye and I couldn't put them down. Never knew such a thing existed before I saw it today...
I got myself one of these for my Fluke 289, for an extremely good price:

What is that even used for? Looks like an ergonomic nightmare...

Where from, and how much?
Nice. I will probably buy one in the coming days, as I just picked up a Fluke 287 for a good price.
Do you have the PC dongle, or just use it with the smart phone?
Just smartphone at the moment for testing, but my PC has bluetooth, so I assume I can use it without buying the official dongle? I'll try as soon as I have time.

Hmmm, not looking good then. I have a Logitech BT transceiver connected at the moment, but I have a few others I could try out too.

Finally my DE 5000 came from Japan today via ebay as well. No import or taxes to be paid either.

Now that reminds me, we used to have wifi wars here, I named my wifi " Johns socks stink" and it went from there, some very interesting names came out.
To annoy my wife I called our Wifi peanut in her own language
BTW I did score something cool today: an atlas from 1947 which used to belong to my grandfather. The world has changed a lot since then...

And what is her language?
@Helix70: Nope, no luck. I tried 5 different bluetooth dongles and internal (laptop) bluetooth, but the Formsview software doesn't recognise any them as valid ports.

You can do lots of things with wifi names...
Technically I bought it a week ago, but it showed up today. An old HP 1980B scope, sold as 'missing fuse, doesn't power up'. A replacement fuse and fuseholder cap got it fired up, but there are definitely some issues to be addressed. Most of the buttons seem unresponsive, and the display is a bit dim and doesn't focus well. I'm betting on at least filter caps, and who knows what else. On the good side, there are traces and text displayed.

Bad luck. Oh well, worth a try!
Got my Fluke 287 today, works great. What a bargain. I ordered my ir3000 FC from RS and got it for 85 bucks AUD. Not bad! Will be here tomorrow.

I wonder what would be the outcome if you named it something along the lines of " Rosies Pornographic wifi " or even " UK MI5 Secure server -Wales " ........ every wifi nut about would be trying to hack into it, which if you put it on its own server with a single web page that logged up the message "pervert" or such could be fun
Bought last week via Amazon UK ... Arrived today
A Fluke 115 multimeter; I really like these meters, they're perfect for troubleshooting/checking control panels.
Not cheap at £145.00 for a basic meter, but you get what you pay for in terms of safety and reliability
Bought today new wireless headset, HDD and more ram.
