For the most part, I don't need the handles, as I don't carry the instruments around much. Some devices like the HP34401A have handles that fold back such that they lay flat on the bottom without protruding more than the feet. However, the bulges on the sides are still annoying.

As I have ordered my TruePosition GPSDO this very day, I'm now in need of an antenna, too. All I can find are terribly cheap antennas for cars and a few for boats. I have no real idea, though, whether they work with this board. :(

With that many 34401A's present you have, what, a cubic metre of 34401A handles?
tautech:
Yeah they fold right underneath on Siglents too but they do stick out the side some but luckily they can rotate to a position where they they can be sprung form the case and easily removed. Without tools too. :)
My best customer (teaching lab), students broke the tilting tits off one so it wouldn't stay in the tilt setting so I had to get a new one.......cost me $4 :o and I sent it to them gratis. :phew:

Not sure if it was gel, it was sold as sealed lead acid, works a treat. Slightly larger capacity I think.

Gel cell/SLA, same aren't they ?
--- End quote ---
Nope. Gel cells have, as the name suggests, a gel electrolyte. SLA are usually liquid electrolyte in a fiberglas mat. This makes most Gel-Cells a high IR battery, while SLA tends to be low IR. The difference IRL is considerable as well; gel cells are easily destroyed by high surge current draws which SLA takes in stride, however if treated with care gel cells tend to have greater longevity than SLA. Some long-term standby power applications get decades of service from a set of gel-cells.
Woops! Family time!
