I was considering them, but I don't like the display or front panel design. I also watched some videos on the MCR-5X00, and getting to different test modes is clunky in the menu. That, and it's really close in price for me to the TH2830, but doesn't come with the nice fixtures the TH2830 comes with. I do like the range of the MCR-5200, but it's also listed as .1% accuracy, whereas the TH2830 is .05%. If there was a bigger price gap, I would consider it.

The newer MCR-6000 series has a nicer screen and better accuracy and range than the 5000 series, but it's more expensive than the Tonghui. Also not really available yet. Maybe in a year or something they'd be a better deal.
KungFuJosh:
I didn't hear back from Tonghui, so I bit the bullet and bought it from one of the sellers I was considering on aliexpress. Now I get to wait impatiently until it arrives from China.

Well, apparently, the seller I chose NOT to purchase from was the correct choice. I was tempted because they offered the TH2830 to me for only $650 including shipping. Which sounded too good to be true. Naturally, I was skeptical. I asked them to send me photos of the actual product, to confirm it was genuine Tongui, and brand new. They sent me screenshots from their ad. 🙄

So I told them: "I'm purchasing from another seller that's been around longer, with more feedback. Best of luck, thanks anyway."

They responded (copied and pasted sixteen times like a child): "You are an idle person, asking me countless questions, and I also replied to you to cancel the order in the end.You are not a real businessman, you are a dishonest It takes me so much time and energy to reply to so many of your questions You are just a loser without anyone's credibility and integrity"

Needless to say, avoid "EVERGOOD INSTRUMENTS Store" at all costs. They've been on aliexpress for less than a year, and they are clearly not trustworthy. I'm glad I dodged that bullet.
KungFuJosh:
Good news and bad news.

The good: The seller shipped fast with DHL express, I received it today.

The bad news: the unit appears to be used.

The other bad news: the reason these aren't commonly sold in the US is it appears they require 220V power. That wasn't listed in the ad, and the pics of the unit weren't clear enough to see that.

No snarky RTFM comments please. 🙄

When our sourcetronic arrived from calibration, I could look inside if there is a input voltage switch avaible.
