Seems the PA forgot to cancel the BO KS34465A request by engineering, so when the KS34465A arrived unexpectedly at the shipping dock (house door), he blamed engineering, which blamed the CFO, which blamed the CTO and eventually everyone blamed the CEO :o

Actually, it looks like your CFO did OK: Keysight currently specifies a 64-week lead time (!), so having one in hand is quite an asset. And since prices continue to rise, that 34465A could probably be sold today for more than you folks paid a year ago. Win! :clap:

The DMM6500 has a mere 36-week lead time by comparison. (Both numbers from Mouser, btw.)

Not a great time the OP to go shopping.  :(

Exactly why the CFO decided to keep the 34465A after consulting with the CTO, rather than return it, altho the Chairperson of the Board wasn't too happy about that  ;)

BTW this wasn't a year ago, just a couple months ago that it was received, altho the original order was placed early this year. Newark even honored the original price which was lower that todays price :-+

Best,

Not to mention that even after splitting the profit between the engineer, CFO, CTO and CEO each would have gotten a full share!

RS online shop shows expected delivery on 19.12.2022. But also at much higher price compared to what we paid last year.

The engineer claimed it was his doing that the KS34465A profit would be realized and asked for a raise, the CTO supported the engineer but the CFO offered a stock option instead after getting approval from the CEO and Chairperson. The option shares were granted on 100mm square soft tissue invisible print on a roll, it's located on a small spool on the wall in the tiny private office room with one "seat" with running water and a fan ;D

This tiny office has the unique property if you need to "Go", you can just "Stay" ::)
