I hope I can choose larger fonts for some of these measurements. Large fan is barely noticeable, but I assume it is thermally controlled. The screen is effing huge and scary Hi-Res; feels the same as going to my 1054Zed after using a TDS210 for years. mnem :=\ --- End quote --- Well that was a short lay down ;) --- End quote --- Yeaaaaaaah... there's something about being "the first to market" with deals like this... :-DD I'm old and tore up from the floor up and slow, so things don't often fall out so that I can be first at much of anything any more. Last night I decided to cowboy up for another half-hour so I could have my turn. ;) mnem Of course, I am paying for that choice now... |

I hopped on fleaBay to see if my 54621D had shipped yet... and my dashboard thwapped me upside the head with this alert!!! w00t! mnem *toddles off to stalk the wily UPS driver* >:D --- End quote --- Nice, was a good deal :-+ Mine was apparently shipped today. But I don't see a tracking number so it's a little bit suspect. --- End quote --- Did you get valid tracking yet? I have no doubt you will, as you said, your paperwork all went through. :-+ Also, I forgot to say thanks last night; that was purely exhaustion, I promise. :-[ Thanks Kosmic for being all that TEA is supposed to be, and sharing a good deal when you find it. :clap: mnem Now I don't mind that OWON from ARROW I let slip through my claws nearly as much. ;) |

Just marked as shipped. And they are still not answering emails nor ebay messages :-\ They have good deals but look like they are a pain to deal with. |

--- Quote from: bd139 on June 30, 2022, 10:20:46 am ---I have 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 isographs. You don't want the 0.1. They are stupid fragile and unreliable as hell. I actually did my A-level exams with a 0.35 rapidograph years ago. I know you're not supposed to write with them like that but it worked for me :D --- End quote --- At my first aircraft design job we still used ink on fiilm. You thought about what you were doing before drawing a line. It's a LOT harder to change than on CAD. Yongsters don't seem to think at all. I was talking to a "design engineer" a couple of weeks ago and despite have a Beng and masters in engineering they didn't know the difference between a machine screw and a bolt :scared: |

Did you get a A4 paper Cal cert with it ? FYI the rear case on these was used on the later X-Plus models also. Looking forward to more of your 1st impressions..... :popcorn: --- End quote --- LOL... more first impressions? Let's start with the impression the manuals left on my desktop... "WHUMMMMMMP!!!" Even the PDFs are heavy; 800+ pages between the User and Programming manuals. Yup, I got the ISO DOC and a Cal Cert; now we know a lot more of this unit's story. It looks like they obsoleted the 2CH model and now only carry the 4CH model, and these have been languishing in some warehouse since before COVID. I'd guess the "two weeks to build the unit" is more like "we need to open up these NOS units and do at least a quick hands-on to make sure they're not made of fire after sitting in a warehouse for 4 years"... :o Before I do anything else with it, I need to at least skim the manuals. This thing is smarter than I am. :-DD Oh, fuck me... even the Quick Start guide is 44 pages thick... :wtf: mnem RTFM, yo. |
