Carl_Smith:
So I've noticed people on this thread tend to say they were buying or looking at items on "the bay" or other similar indirect ways of referring to the place where TEA members often spend too much time and money.  Is there a reason why people don't use the proper name for this place?

I think it's just slang, for variery's sake.  I often call it by its proper name (evilBay).

Some other forums you’re not allowed to mention eBay (due to problems with rip off merchants) so it gets renamed.

@specmaster: 5KV is pretty impressive. Not sure I’d want to be anywhere near it though with that potential floating around. I’ve had a 2.5KV kick off a tek CRT bias circuit and that wasn’t much fun.

No, I'd treat it with a healthy respect if I was to ever require using it on anything remotely near 1kv. It would be very much hands off approach. I have an Avo 8 which will do 3kv via dedicated terminals and a TMK 700 which does 1.5kv in a similar fashion but that does have thick insulation on leads and probes. But you'd never get me to hold either in case there was a problem.

From mobile device so predictive text might have struck again [emoji83]
