If that smaller pallet were to be delivered to me you would never hear from me again because I would have died and gone to heaven.
Are you trying to bribe us to have a whip round to make that happen?
I also have one of these but here is one in the USA eBay auction: #392659657016
That was the first frequency counter I ever used!
bean.....you are evil.
hmmmmmmmm. about an hour and 10 minutes. free local pickup.
what should i offer?
They are shits of things to use in real life, as the funny stepped readout is hard to read!
Looks like my little cube furnace. Any hollow-state in it to keep your toes toasty?

Nah!---------unlesss you count the incandescent lamps that make up the readout.
There are six vertical columns with lamps behind glass lenses marked 0-----9.
If you are, for, instance, looking at a frequency of 191919 kHz, you read the first "1" from the second row of the first column, go up to the top of the next column for the "9", then down again for the next "1" & so on.

boards are soldered together? digits are back-lit with incandescent bulbs? crap connectors on the front and rear?
gotta say that is putting me off a little.
and the offset handle just looks wonky as shit. am guessing that is where the center of gravity is located?
not even a sniff of hp goodness or design in this poor little hopeless looking thing.
but still, i do have a record of rooting for the underdog.
so quite frankly it was unsealed and stolen in transit most likely by Hermes.
I am a victim of stole items in transit as well. We should all pack dog shit and send it to some random jewelery shop. Once a month.
Yes I filed a claim to Herpes providing pics, yes it was another waste of time, no response since 7,5 months.
Item in transit was stolen by Herpes GB in June 2020. They are refunding me the full amount of the lost goods in March 2021.
I will give thanks to the Blessed Holy Mary for the miracle.
It says everything about us lot that I thought "
That's a strangely tall can of beer." until I had a closer look.
It's been about 6 hours since my last post and I wake up to air temp about 17 F and winds howling in excess of 40 MPH. That gives an equivalent wind chill of about -5 F or -21 C. Clocks are flashing again so power must have dipped again at least once. And I can feel a cold draft in here. Welcome to March.
Oh well. At least power stayed on and have heat. (So far). Many don't. And this wind advisory is in place until 13:00 hours today. (04:30 hours currently).
They say Spring is just around the corner.
That'll be 'spring' in the same vein as the "Spring surprise" in the Whizzo Chocolate Company assortment of Monty Python fame, will it? Here, have a crunchy frog...

If we took the bones off, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?
What's this? Cockroach clusters? Superintendent Vomit will taste one...

Yeah, it's been blowing like mad here since late yesterday, too. Thankfully I was finally able to get the tree that split in last summers storm taken down at the beginning of the year, otherwise I'd bet it would have come down during the night. Had a glitch during the night here, too, as the stove clock is waiting to be reset. Let's hope that March gets its 'lion' phase out of its system quickly and switches to 'lamb' soon. Since those trees came down narrowly missing everything in August I'm now paranoid every time the wind howls.

I recently managed to win amongst the heaps of worn out, over priced crap that eBay seems to have become of late, a rather tasty TMK 500, a 30,000opv DC and 15,000opv AC analogue meter. I have one of these buried somewhere under a few metric tons of bits and bobs from my Mums estate which I had to clear out a few years ago and still have to do the final sifting through. Anyway this one from eBay was listed as the ohms ranges were giving full scale deflection but unable to get anything on the other ranges.
Thinking that the movement was sound, the problem was more likely going to be either a dodgy contact or worst case scenario. a blown track on the PCB, which as you can see clearly was not the case.
Then I noticed that the switch contact was missing altogether, I'm not going to be able to get one of these as a spare, so now the hunt is on for some suitable material to try and cobble together a new contact from
A bit of EMC shielding fingerstock maybe?
Anybody on the east side of Canada looking for 1 ton of misc TE ? the auction is sitting at 200$ right now.

It's a good thing I'm 12h away. A little bit closer and I would probably had to rent a van to bring everything back home.
You are a dangerous man!
About 15 hours away from me. This may seem crazy, but I am somewhat tempted to go for it.
I have a truck & trailer that could handle it all.
The part I would have trouble to handle is the reaction of SWMBO if I came home with all that. I would have to turn it around fairly quickly....
EDIT: I have requested the list of items in this auction lot. This is getting dangerous....
I wonder if I could cram this into the truck without a trailer; it would be easier this way in winter and fuel economy?
Looking at the details, there are 3 bidders so far, but it does look like low-balling so far...

Are the maritime provinces still stopping anyone from Quebec on west from coming in though? It might not be possible to drive to Nova Scotia still.
Good question; I read up on the travel restrictions. I could do it legally, but it means living out of the truck and minimizing stops for gas, toilet & food only.
There is a protocol for contactless pick-up.
EDIT: Darn. New Brunswick is not allowing travel. The only way to get there without going through the USA is Quebec through New Brunswick to Nova Scotia.

The pickup would be the least of my concerns. I'd be more worried about being turned around at the eastern edge of Quebec and not be able to arrive; the stories out there from all over Canada about people getting in trouble or being stopped when doing legitimate things like this are have been too prevalent and widespread to ignore as one-offs that are a rare exception.
Honestly, the way the whole pandemic has been handled is extremely disappointing. Instead of confronting it head on and figuring out how to work around it reasonably safely, the fear mongering got turned up to 11 and everyone's hiding under their bed like a scared housecat. Can you imagine if there were no vaccines yet and we were going to have to deal, or as it turns out go sideways, long term? And I include GCSurplus in my critique that this has been mishandled. How long ago did they start offering shipping on some items? It's always been very few items that shipping has been made available for. If travelling in general is so undesirable, if doing business face to face is so undesirable, you'd think the pandemic would finally be the thing to get them to finally at last step it up on shipping to minimize the amount of travel to their sites and in person pickups. Apparently not, not even a year into the pandemic.
Just to stay on topic, do they use a shavel to organize those scopes in card boxes?
Which reminds me....
I need a lot of pink bubble wrap for all my TEA puppies, I do not trust the relocation service monkey at all.
Any suggestions where to buy tons of that material here in Germany?
When I see those pallets of TEA I see my bench there soon....
We talked about MOSFETs for DC loads the other day.
I happened across the FDL100N50 today while looking for something else.
With a good enough heatsink (liquid cooled maybe) it has a DC SOA good for at least 1500W within 100A and 500V. Rjc is 0.05 deg C/W so a 25 deg C heatsink actually has some headroom at 1500W. It's pretty linear with about 20mV/a gate sensitivity

Hi Martin, how are you? You must come visit us more often.
I hope also, this is the 200, it was expensive.
I have buyed from a german store, they have to give 2 years warranty.
