| My poor mans SMU - The Agilent 66311B |

| SKPang:
Mine arrived today but it was in pretty bad shape. The plastic at the rear was bent, no knob and sticky power switch. Cleaned the unit up and fixed the sticky power switch. Changed the input voltage to 230V and power it up. It works fine, the fan is a bit noisy. Can't really complain much for $55. Nice addition to the lab gear. Now time to get a new knob. |

That would avoid minimum order issues and probably reduce shipping costs (even after mailing out to individuals). --- End quote --- I would likely be interested, but mine hasn't arrived yet, so will have to see what kind of shape it's in... Canada Post's tracker says it should arrive tomorrow, but they are often a day optimistic. |

The 66312 has front panel outputs (though the sense inputs are in the rear) and it should be a simple matter to install a pair of binding posts. |

Went looking for the 66312 binding posts part numbers and figured I'd grab some others from the 66311 in case of a potential group buy or general interest for those wanting replacement parts. The binding posts are a tad on the pricey side... but I figured the information might be useful anyway. Prices in CAD. Binding Post - 1510-0091 - $29.02 Binding Post - 1510-0090 - $15.39 - Half price, this one looks identical but isn't red or listed on the BOM The binding posts seem to be mounted on a PCB with a couple low-value capacitors and a 1R resistor. It's not clear if the PCB is for structure or if the posts mount solidly to the chassis themselves. The PCB is available as part number 06611-60022 for $72.54. Other useful parts, given the condition of people's units: Fan Assy - 5065-7092 - $155 (hahahaha right) Knob - 33120-87401 - $3.67 Rear Bezel - 03478-88304 - $22.45 Foot (x4) - 5041-8801 - $19.00 5 position terminal block (output) - 0360-2604 - $19.00 (or get two from Mouser for less, incl. shipping...) Front window - 5080-2617 - $10.19 I'm surprised at the reasonable pricing, TBH. Not sure how painful it is to order, I think there is an automated process in the US, but in Canada it seems I need to call them... |

The software looks really interesting and would make this meter more useful: http://www.keysight.com/en/pd-852417-pn-14565B/device-characterization-software-with-test-automation?nid=-536902309.389074.00&cc=CA&lc=eng However at $2,779 CDN I'd have to be smoking crack to buy it..... |O |
