List your test equipment "scores" here!

[Berni]

Recently I was trashing an "old" HP printer, Off came the badge - not the same style- a little bit big but much better than 2 small holes

Oh nice trick. Im sure a HP enthusiast would notice the badge not being the authentic old style, but its certainly a lot less eye catching than with it missing.

Il keep it in mind when i see a good HP bargin with its badge missing.

Certainly better than the holes!!

Yeah, nice workaround Rob.

Not quite sure if it's a bargain, but the name catched me - scored a Thurlby Thandar PL310QMD for ~70€. Should arrive soon, I'm already quite excited how it performs!

Bought a so called forking tool ...

Kyoritsu KEW 2300R, NCV (Non Contact Voltage) detector and DC/AC current "fork" current tester, as it doesn't need to clamp on the cable to measure the current (open fork), spec -> HERE

Nice!
Where did you buy it and how much was it?

Keeping with the theme of the subject...   ...scored a really nice Boonton 92C RF Millivoltmeter with the original serial number matching probes:

Agilent U1732C from ebay. $189 + shipping. Looks like brand new. Has calibration label from 2013. f/w 00.24 and inside board rev. 002

Does anybody know  how to find out serial number?

I very good meter, I have a lot of time using one.

You need to use the IR interface to read the serial number as far as I know.

Great score, Alan, and in beautiful condition. Someone must've valued it not only to keep it nearly pristine, but to have the matching probe and accessories, too.

BK Precision 9185 - 400/600V programmable PSU. required some repair, but now works OK. $100 + cost of stare parts (purchased in a volume "just in case" - 70USD). Not sure if I need such high voltage PSU, but for some reason I could not resist (GAS maybe)...

[Rbastler]

I got a MV116 for 75€, working of course. The Fluke 8050A was 10€ but is damaged, the PE1540 needs it's 220n 300V~ MP cap replaced (30€), both resistor decades were 10€ and so was the amp.

My latest additions on one photo. A Siglent SHS1062 portable scope, a Brymen BM869s and a Datron 4700 multimeter calibrator. I had already 2 repairs on my benches so I repaired this in the living room

The Datron was a gift, I'm the second owner and according my friend who worked at the company who owned it, it is almost never used.  It looks as clean on the inside as the outside. I had to replace a handful of tantalums before it worked again without smoke. I have not calibrated it yet but a quick test was very promising. It has the current/resistance option. It does VAC (upto 1 MHz) and VDC, both upto 200V, Resistance are 7 fixed values and current is also AC and DC. I am very happy with it.

The Siglent was not planned, I borrowed it from the Dutch dealer, Eleshop to evaluate, I made a youtube review about it and liked it so much I bought it. https://youtu.be/R5lTLuclk1M

I bought the Brymen as a second meter next my Agilent (to replace my old Fluke 77-III) I wanted to make a review of it at first but there are already plenty made on you tube.

The Datron came with 2 old HP's, a HP-5248L nixy equiped counter with 500 MHz plugin and a HP8640a with analog scale.  Not used for >30 years and also looking like new.

It's for capacitor leakage testing, of course. So, now that it has a purpose, you can relax.

I also considered Geiger tube testing in a doomsday, so yes, it is must-have tool for many reasons

Offered with only the smallest amount of tongue-in-cheek because, if you need one of these (and I do) it is a very useful tool:

[Ysjoelfir]

What is that? Some way to test Signals at ISA Cards?

[bsudbrink]

S-100 bus extender with built in logic probe.  Plus you can insert test probes/fuses/etc. into the power rails.  The only more useful S-100 tool is the Jade bus probe which I don't have but would love to get:

NO Kidding, and I hate making my own.

I am a sucker for good 'ol HP Battleships, a 3326A dual tone/phase/pulse 13MHz freq gen;  all 27kg of her! Not a real 'score' in terms of price though.
Now when she arrives I really can do some 'two tone' testing - if I don't get a hernia first

[bitseeker]

Looks like that 3326A would cause you to make two tones.

[VK5RC]

I think i have more than 2 output channels though! HiHi!

[Cubdriver]

That's an impressive looking beast!  Cool!  Try not to bugger up your back moving it!
