Saturday's lawn-mowing was only part of the household chores I'd sworn to do during this long weekend. While eagerly waiting for my parcel to arrive, I commenced the ironing marathon. And miracles do happen! To be fair to Hermes, they did deliver the thing today. Which means I sat there with the cardboard box in my sweaty hands and could not open it immediately. Instead I had to hoover and wipe the floors (the latter is associated with real physical pain, so I keep deferring it for too long). As I expected to get hungry eventually, I also had to go and buy something to eat.
But then I finally got around opening the box, and here it was: The PM2421 that was solely responsible for my relapse! Except for the styrofoam placed directly in front of the front :) that left tiny pieces all over and in the binding posts, it was properly packaged. Well, some of the upholstering looked a bit on the "good opportunity to get rid of some garbage" side. The meter looked good apart from the loose mains switch - thus I've not yet powered it up.
Here's some pictures of this beautiful instrument. Even if it doesn't work and I can't get it to, I'm not sorry for the 30 € (with shipping).
This case is made to last: That label implies some pride (my reading):
And the innards, so full of colors! I could look at them for hours. 8)
Hope I'm not violating any rules by posting lots of biggish pictures (I do scale them down to 50 % however).
If you're offended by this, please let me know.
Now if you take a closer look at the labels above the switches on the front, you'll probably see why I just had to have this baby. :-+
Ero-Shan, whose mood lightened up considerably during the last hours.

That is delightful... Nixies, 7400 series logic and discrete TTL/DTL all with analog frontend. Something from pretty much every generation in one box. Thank you! :-+ :-+ :-+
I don't mind big pix; I just try and make my replies smaller by resizing pics other folks have already seen. You can still see all that luscious Philips pulchritude just by clicking on the thumbs. ;D

And if you want to get into a fight with a programmer, ask for a concurrency conversion.

Hahaha guess who wrote our currency exchange engine :)
3 fucking months that took :)
Edit: random thing on 74 series logic:
74HC -> meh
74LS -> warmer
74xx -> snuggly warm and happy feeling
