I'll also add, a while back he dropped the price to get rid of stock because they weren't selling well. Then they sold out and and then some... Maybe he still hasn't decided for sure to stop selling them, maybe he just hasn't removed it from the store. So send him some mail or an email or maybe he'll see this and reply but you might need to look elsewhere if you need one sooner than later.

I have a HVP70 hole in my lab and would love to support one of my favorite YouTubers by buying in the EEVblog store. 

If it is truly EOL'ed does anyone have a suggested alternative?

Thanks,

-Andy

I think MicSig's much cheaper diff. probe which came out at about the same time kind of killed it. Besides that a high voltage diff. probe still is something people don't buy that quickly. For some reason I have accumulated 3 though.

There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

Well, they're somewhat single-purpose for off-line SMPS development / troubleshooting.

Then you look at the wrong time.
Yes I'm out of stock but new stock in due in the next couple of weeks.
Amazon Canada has stock, and it's discounted.

If that’s August 2021, that is good news. Any news on the pricing?

Yeah, delivery date was only a few weeks, so they must have had all the parts in stock.
FOB price did rise, IIRC by about US$20

...but only 4 years later it is out of stock again?

I kinda prefer a HV differential probe with no low impedance contact to mains (ie it's own battery supply).
Are there any known reasonable substitutes or will this ever come back into stock?

Yes, the company got bought out and restructued and other things and couldn't make it for a while, and now they are having component shortages. I ran out of stock somewhere in that time.
They are advising mid July for production to restart.

I finally have new stock. Well, it's on the truck somewhere in Melbourne anyway. Website is open for orders again.
The rubber surround is now yellow instead of blue due to supply problems.
