I got this HP54645A Oscilloscope for 45 euros from our uni. Last calibrated in '09 but seems accurate enough. Made in 1996 in USA. It has 2 channels, negazoom and a sharp CRT tube. It was "Broken". I just needed to clean the keys and glue one pcb in and it worked like new. I modded an usb port to it(sorry) And I got a Hameg 20Mhz analog scope for free. from the 80's. Made in West Germany. I opened it up and it was in top notch condition. Nothing has leaked or broken. German engineering! :-+ |

This may not be a big score but I went to a ham fleamarket a couple of days ago. It was much smaller than I had hoped but there was one seller there who had, along with other goodies, several small SMPSs, most were new and still wrapped. I asked how much and he said $1 each so I just grabbed them all, not even checking their ratings. A lot of equipment uses small power supplies like this and sometimes it's easier to replace than to try to repair. I was a little surprised when I opened one and saw the brand name. I'll have to check it out to see if it really meets specs! 8) |
