[pan0s]

Hello guys i got to own a wandel and goltermann spm-33 selective level meter and a ps-33 level generator.As i have no real use for them i intend to sell them.Isaw a couple of simillar models listed on ebay for thousands of dollars.Are these reallstics prices? How much are these things worth? I have to mentione that both come in a suitcase as reffered 'measuring kit', charges, probes and they are at mint condition i also managed to 'read' a signal genrated for the generator with the meter.Thanks you for your help.

You have to look at the selling prices, not the listing prices.

One spm-33 sold for $275.  A lot of 6 in cases, certificates of calibration, etc went for $5750.

Don't see any ps-33s.

WG made great instrumentation, but they were sliced and diced and support is small to nonexistent.   I'm not familiar with those so I can't say anything about whether or not those pieces are useful given today's state of the art.

it;s worth what someone want to pay for it.
if someone really really needs that particular one , and there is only one avaialble : caching.
if there is tons avaialble becasue these are useless or obsolete : may as well rip em apart for parts...

these are isdn testers right ? isdn is dead and buried. give it up. all these boes do is send a signal over a twisted pair and check how good the line is. so only people that pull underground cables really use these. since these days we go way further in the spectrum these machines are not suffucient for current use. ergo : no value.

I just attended a ham conference (Gippstech)   and some of the guys there are experimenting with low frequency radio ie 470kHz mentioned these Line level meters  as good,  but also mentioned softrock sdr (and they don't cost a lot) so there may be some interest but these guys won't be digging deep.  FYI.  Regards Rob
