Well I got outbid on the hp 5090B receiver.  :(
I didn't mention it the other day, but the 5090 was supposedly the first hp TE designed in the UK, they seem quite uncommon too, though maybe a bunch of modified ones will appear on the bay, as spares/repair once the LW radio signal finally becomes EOL.  :-BROKE


Also tried to bid on a hp 185B oscilloscope that would have ended Friday at 11.30am, no bids all week, so I though no one else was interested (like the one in Germany that went for a single digit € a while ago). I was working when it ended and snuck away from the BDNL* to bid a ten minutes prior to the end, only to find the ePay mobile programme wouldn't accept my bid  |O turns out it sold on an offer about an hour or two before the end. This might or might not have been a good thing, as it was advertised as a "barn find" with minimal pictures and the sellers other "barn finds" looked in quite poor condition.  :phew:

How much did you bid on the 5090B? I have a 5090A and a B that I was going to use as parts donors.

My final bid was £60, it only had one other bidder.
It was however in much nicer condition than the B I have, plus still had feet & the correct (ancient) power cord, never seen the recorder option before, assuming it was an option & not something bodged on.
I do have a set of parts for the Radcom mod somewhere, just be-aware that the PSU rails are -V and I think the mod required +V, this might be why someone smoked the PSU in mine trying to modify it (not the Radcom mod).

factory:
Random web search find for TE feet (searched for tilting bail), found these Hammond feet & bail sets, they look very much the same as those used on old Systron Donner, Eldorado, Wavetek, Hickok and probably some other US TE brands, the tilting bails are available in three lengths.

I now have a mental image of someone conducting thermal testing of some kit by ladling hot fat over it in a roasting tray.  :)

I had a slightly different trick.

The senior library staff mentioned to my parents that I was borrowing books from the adult library on my junior library ticket, and maybe I would like a senior library ticket. My parents didn't let on that I had spotted that juniors didn't pay fines :)
