One of our TEA Fellows was kind enough to make me aware of this beauty...

Yes, I just bought one, but I need a spare one now of course, always need two of everything eh ?! :-DD
Will you be so kind as to not engage in a bidding war with my thin wallet ?
At 39 Euros starting price it's a worth monitoring...looks nice, works, and comes with two plug-ins.
That said I can't put a lot of money into it, especially since I paid only 10 Euros for mine....
I am hoping this old French thing not being as popular as HP of the same era... not many people will be interested to begin with... but just in case I prefer to post about it asking for your kindness...
If you are really as much in love with this thing as I am, and realllllllly want it.... OK maybe we can compromise : I will let you have it, if you pass me the 4 wire ohms plugin.... which is ultimately what I am most interested in. Of course having another meter for spares caqn't hurt... but if I have no choice, then I would favour the 4wire plugin.

Four of them listed in the last month or so, never seen that many of the HP equivalent. :o
Not bidding myself, no shipping anyway, sadly it's listed with the N-word, so will probably attract more interest (as the one I bought was), good luck if you do bid.

Looks interesting, but having seen too many "bigclivedotcom" videos I would probably just use a fixed voltage reg & lower voltage LED tape, with a resistor to set it to quite dim :-DD, as I hate excessively bright LEDs. Of course it might be while before the original lamp fails.

Oh, common as mud then ?! :wtf:
Who would have thought....
.. or maybe it's just Murphy manipulating us again.... serving us a bunch of them in a short time to fool us into thinking that they are common, and then once these few are sold, it will take years to find the next one.... I am used to this kind of scenario with pretty much all of my older TE, so I would still rather try to get these Rochar meters/plugins while there are some for sale, as just can't know what the future is made of on the second hand market for niche TE like this...
At any rate, I need to get rid of some scopes to free some storage space. I am already officially running out of space and playing the constant sum game. If something comes in, something else must come out...this has a positive side to it I find, as it forces me to be honest with myself and realize that OK maybe I don't love that old scope AS MUCH as that cool piece of Neeksee TE...
So it makes getting rid of that scope that much easier psychologically.... which I could not do before.
So I am growing up I guess. I have now finished the first phase of the hobby where I bought lots of old stuff on a whim.... now I am entering the second phase of the hobby where I progressively grew a "taste" (goof or bad doesn't matter, but a taste none the less) that renders me more critical, and now helps me focus my attention and money and storage space onto thing that I value particularly.
I guess the next step is get rid of half of it, realizing I never actually use it on the bench and that they are wasted..... I am not quite there yet...not at all >:D

In walks a dude proclaiming the window behind it will be replaced tomorrow and it all needs to go. |O

I wouldn't know. But in the end it's for a good cause (replacing a fixed window with one that can be oppened, allowing to do so when yet another RIFA launches) and the folks around here are quite supportive and flexible, wouldn't be kind to repay them with the middle finger....
