How much should I pay for a Agilent 1683AD Logic Analyzer ?
electronic_guy:
Hi,
I’m planning to buy a logic analyzer. Seems like Agilent 1683AD is a good choice. How much one should pay for it on surplus market ? Specially on ebay.
What are your ideas on this instrument if you have used it ?
Thanks

Have used them and they work great depending on what you are doing.
I would look at paying about $600 to $800. depending on who is selling and the condidtion.
Depending on the requirement for speed and how much you have to spend There is the Tektronix TLA series and the Philips Fluke 3585 series of logic analyzers.

If you really want a tradition old school Agilent type logic analyzer that is self contained and reasonably portable, for $600 to $800, a 168xxA series would be significantly better than a 1683AD. The only advantage of the 168xAD series is that they are slightly smaller than the 168xxA series. They are inferior in every other measure.
(I have both 168xAD and 168xxA series logic analyzers myself, among others).

There is one on ebay, today auction ends.
I've bought 16822a for ~300$ in not working condition. 1k$ for unit in working condition is (depending on included accessories) is ok price.
For 168xAD series 600$ for unit in good condition, with accesories included is IMO upper limit.
At least for EU market, in US should be cheaper.

I'm satisfied with my 1682AD. I got it from a local auction house, from a company that was vacating premises.

How long are you prepared to wait?
Make sure anything you buy, works, has the cables, has a suitable means of connecting to your UUT. The grippers are available, but aren't cheap as I would like. Personally I slightly prefer the Tek grippers.
