And back on topic I seemed to have spur of the moment TEA'd 'AGAIN'
eBay auction: #154338382505 I have casually been looking for a 500Meg Scope for the last year or so as occasionally the 100Meg Migsig is a bit limiting.
Err, who or what is a "SO"?
"Significant Other" - A formulation designed to gloss over having to remember or know whether the "most significant other person" in someone's life is a wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/live-in-lover or, in the case of our antipodean friends, goes "Baaaa". I used it because I can't remember offhand your situation in that regard.

Just the same logic pushed me to get the Rigol 5000 series 4 channel, 350MHz last year.
Since I picked that up I haven't needed anything faster or with more channels than the 60MHz 2 channel UNI-T P.O.S. that it sidelined. I have managed to make use of the MSO capabilities, however. If I hadn't had it, no doubt, that 60MHz limit would have bitten me on every project. Murphy always wins.

Definitely a 'luxury item' in my fleet of gear, I made do for years with a complete POS Hantek 20Meg USB scope and have never regretted the replacement of it with the Micsig. Current or planned projects likely to need more than 100Meg - ZERO
Having a coffeebreak in the shack so I fired up the 6632B to max current and voltage (20V/5A) and fitted the heavy gauge leads to the cheap and cheerful Electronic load for 15 minutes. Max Temp as indicated 54C and the underside of the board was only just 'warm'. Measurements across the range when checked in the past are fairly close to the DUT with the heavy leads but I might look at the board and see if I can add four wire measurement to it without to much hacking and chopping.

Be sure to check ALL SMD electro's for leakage and PCB damage first thing.

Thanks I did do a quick check for issues prior to 'spur of the moment'
Seems Electros are a common on this model range.
seems that house with about 400 sqm of retired stables might be an idea.
Where, Where! I want it!
So do my dogs!
They would have all sorts of fun digging up fossilised horse poo!
you may want to add the question to the listing, including your answer.
Or put something in like: the scope is extra.
No, I always put something like, Test leads and scope NOT included in this sale.
I always look at the "X, Y and Z not included in offer. Only present to demonstrate that equipment is operating correctly" and think "Duh, that's kind of obvious.", and then remember some of the people I've encountered in life and think "OK, you're not an idiot. You really do need to say that for some people's benefit".
I normally do to. I guess I figured nobody is expecting a 2k€ scope to be included with a function gen. Goes to show I'm stupid.
I am designing/buying an automatic garden irrigation system.
It is more complicated than what I thought.
Why I always get PITA served from the universe?
Buy a pump action industrial sized bottle of roundup and irrigate or with that once a year. Job done!
I think you misread that, he didn't ask for a garden irritating system

We here do. But dealing with people from other areas teaches us: expect the unexpected but above all expect
stupidity ignorance.

Maybe because isn't complete with bezel and knobs etc they thought it might?
Eh, well, it's turns out it's a film student or director that needs a wiggly trace on a screen, so I doubt they took into acount the diminished value due to lacking bezel and went "well, maybe..."
Also, that tonight I started watching the 80s BEEB version of HHGttG with my son.
The original radio show is
much better. Best with headphones, lying in a dark room so the pictures can be seen in their full glory.
To go with the new toy I think one good probe is in order. Anyone know this seller (besttestus)? Also what is the % chance of them being the real deal?
eBay auction: #224159519411 Seems the rest of the gear leans toward them being genuine
@Robert763 Previous one sold for £310 on eBay, so yes, way overpriced and what a bad state it is in as well
