TERRA Operative:
I just scored a HP 3708A for 1000 Yen (about 10 bucks, give or take). At that price I couldn't say no, no matter how full my room is with gear (I bought a 25U rack last week to stack stuff in and I already need another... :palm: )
Now I just gotta figure out what to do with it. :D
It also apparently has option 030, but that isn't listed in the manual, so I wonder what it is.....
Photo from the auction I just won now.

Wow, that's quite a score. Nice one, TO!

I do enjoy me a bit of a deal on Yahoo Auctions. :) That along with the junk stores in Akihabara here in Tokyo have my wallet looking sad (but not too sad on occasions such as this. :D )

An impulse buy:
It is a GW Instek LCR-821 high precission LCR meter. Basic accuracy of 0.05%, measurement frequency up to 200kHz and it can measure very low values as well (resistance from 10 micro-Ohm which is nice when I need to deal with Li-ion cells). I was kind of eye balling a higher end LCR meter for a while without really wanting to buy one. However this thread https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/gw-instek-lcr819-and-the-mystery-of-password/ triggered doing a search on Ebay. Just for kicks I low balled the LCR-821 and the seller accepted. The unit arrived today and after desinfection / decontamination I tested it. At first it didn't seem to work but it turned out the 'range hold' mode was enabled.
I want to clean it up (take the front panel apart to give the plastic and the rubber buttons a good cleaning) and maybe it makes for a nice TFT conversion project as well. The insides look pretty simple. A 68000 CPU seems to drive a whole bunch of Lattice CPLDs. The power supply is a standard Meanwell PSU.
