| TekForever:
Just saw this thread but I got my Tek TDS620B which I then promptly upgraded to a TDS680B for $95. Came with 2 P6139A probes. Keeping an eye out for an AFG and bench DC PSU to complete my setup. |

Niiiiice score on the ecal! It's probably your best score for 2021/2022? Optimism abounds -- that's one jammy git of a deal, it's gonna be hard to beat it ;D |

I have been wanting a Keysight N7555A ECAL unit for quite some time now, it pairs nicely with a 26.5 GHz FieldFox. It also had one female and one male 3.5 mm connector which is the configuration I was looking for. So when it came up on a well known auction site I tossed out a low offer, they countered at more then 10 times the amount but after another low offer they accepted. It was of course listed for "parts / not working" and they said it was untested. As the seller seemed to mainly have office electronics and furniture the untested part was likely true. After waiting for what seemed like forever(bought this over Christmas) it finally arrived and I was thrilled that it worked perfectly. I then decided to add the torque wrench, a fixed wrench and the required micro USB cable and tuck it all nicely into a Pelican 1170. This will probably be my best score for 2021/2022 but I won't stop looking for more deals. --- End quote --- That's a hell of a score, and I'm jealous of that made in USA wrench. I'm thinking I might eventually try to rig together the ecal setup for my 8510C. You need a fifth box in the system for it (85060C) as well as the ecal. That'll be a while though, still recovering from buying the 8510C and some port cables. :-DD |

I almost bought it just to tuck it away for the future. Of course now I wish I had. |
