I'm preparing a talk where I kindly explain I can do stuff with electricity no forensic scientist is ever going to figure out.
Will you be providing hand-outs? 
No, most likely live demonstrations...

"Great SICK minds think alike."
Daughter:- "So where are we going?"
Suitor:- "Why don't we stay here, so your Dad can show us the cool stuff he does?"
Later:-Daughter:- "I broke up with Freddy".
Mum:- " Why?--- "He seemed so nice, & was so interested in your Father's Electronics & stuff."
Daughter:- "
That's why!!"
The UK housing market is completely dysfunctional.
Daughter is getting a no-fault eviction in September; she stands zero chance of getting somewhere to live:
- self-employed: lenders say no proof of earnings
- has dog: landlords say no
- is single and employed: councils say not a priority
"Fortunately" her (beloved) grandmother died and I'm in a position to allow her inheritance to skip a generation (assuming the house sale completes). Talk about the nick of time.
Yeah similar situation. Just basically have to put down one year of rent up front, in my case £24k 
Daughter reckons landlords think that implies you are going to be absent, and will turn the property into a greenhouse full of funny purple lights.
That is a favourite activity amongst the criminal fraternity in Oz, definitely safer, if less profitable, than the old "Meth lab in the kitchen" alternative.
Apropos the latter, there are, several times a year, News reports of houses "bursting into flames", & the tenants or owners being "unavailable for comment"!
Maybe you missed the part where my daughter is global developmental delay/high functioning autistic. I know I've mentioned it before.
No, I know that. You've mentioned it.
I have a better than average understanding how easily she could be taken advantage of; I know how easily I was manipulated when I was younger, and I know she will be much more gullible for many more years to come than I was. I am doing all I know how to prepare her for life anyways, but I will still watch out for her, and I hope that when I'm gone her big brother will continue to do so in my place.
She is gonna need it; every aspect of her life is going to take that much longer to develop than it does for the rest of us.
If I explain from which angle I'm coming, it might be clearer, even if it's not something you agree even partially with:
Our eldest is a prime example Aspie, with Tourettes strains and ADD. We of course realised that something was different quite early, but it wasn't diagnosed until he was 15. Instead we pushed him and his abilities. And he held together, with a lot of work from our and his side.
Hence my belief in careful challenges.
I don't think we're that much apart as it might seem, but you framed your protection in that highschool romance movie angry dad style that I'm certain will just make things worse.
Oops I Did it again.. Test Equipment Relapse!

Nice stack.
By the time you convert your newest to a SVA you’ll be properly set up.

tautech, still wan to add upgrade to a SDS2104X Plus seems a little lopsided maybe once I off the Rigol.
Sweet baby Jesus....

That is what I feared when I saw the first photo, looking terminal?
Not sure. Trying to revive. Won't look pretty but perhaps it will work.
5245L arrived, seems to have survived the shipping. Not powered up, must make lunch first.
Providing it works, I'll go for a 1/10 divider (IIRC I got a few 74HC390) from my normal. Also need to build a distribution amp if the idea with the S-video matrix won't fly.

Fingers crossed for you. That’s a right ugly mess there. Blechh!!

That's quite the challenge.
How many layers is the board?

Less than when it was made
5245L mostly works. Connected it up to the 200CDR and it counts beautifully. 2nd Nixie from the right is slightly wonky. But, yes, over all must be declared as victory.
Unclear on Discord, but likely.
That's quite the challenge.

OK, that actually made me chuckle out loud.

Me not so much. Two I think.
If it’s any consolation I’ve been there a couple of times. One was an annoyingly crispy Acorn A440
I paid waaaaay too much for. Misery loves company.

I didn't chuckle out loud - but it
did give me a cheek stretching grin!

A two-layer board offers more hope of successful repair.
Fingers crossed/Thumbs pressed.

Ah yeah you need to keep those shelves balanced.
The X Plus are nice scopes for sure and your new X Plus SA will have you yearning for another mouse/10" touch screen device and if you've been following the forum
improvements you'll know what you can turn these devices into.
Do you use the SA and scope up on the shelf or pull them down onto the bench ?
The SDS2000X Plus are a good bit taller than the SA at 224 mm however it looks like it might fit.
