Very nice but beginning to think you're just a token dwagon without much in the fire breathing basket at all.
Not even bothering to show the Oxy set just one of the LPG kits we have, the unconnected flame thrower and its larger tip is what vinyl and BUTYNOL layers use for thermal forming.
The little handle gets most use here however after captures of wild hogs the big torch tips come into their own for singeing the hair off them prior to processing for the freezer.
Never seen a shrink sleeve so large we can't handle.
Before we got our first real espresso machine, we had a Bialetti coffee maker (the kind you put on the hob) known as Theresa. As in "Could you please ask Theresa to make us some coffee?"
Words of wisdom:
"Never yawn in the presence of a coffee machine. They sense this and first make you fill up and descale everything possible."
Wondering, which sensors they are using for sensing a yawn ...

This discovery lead me to discarding the machine and using a French press. I suspect the sensor is of supernatural origin similar to the fear sensors built into most computers which sense my presence and magically start working again.
The real question is what sensors do tants have which collectively decide on a singular suicide immediate amongst the species after you have closed a case around them?
my TV is switching to some incredibly annoying and excessively stoopeed advertizing every few minutes. I guess it is time for the 50g solution.

I was an "Oxy-moron" for some years after buying my first oxy-acetylene set, finding uses for it everywhere.
Unfortunately, someone stole it some years later, & I was oxy-less for a couple of years, till I bought another.
I, again, found a lot of uses for it for a while, then the jobs dried up, almost coincident with available money for BO's exorbitant bottle rental!
I took the last bottles back & cancelled the agreement, packed the torch, regulators, & hoses up & put them in the shed.
Several times It would have come in handy after that, but my eyesight had deteriorated, so I left it there.
Since I had my cataract operation, I would be more certain of not pointing the torch at my hand instead of the work, & Bunnings will sell you bottles & refill them as required, so I'm getting those "Oxy-moron" urges again.
I keep seeing jobs which would be easy with the oxy set, but difficult without it, like making up brackets of various kinds which can be very handy, if a little unsightly, in my Lab, or making ham radio VHF antennas with copper water pipe.
I suppose the hoses are buggered by now, though---and I will have to buy Flashback Arrestors, which aren't cheap.
Back in the day, when men were men & sheep were frightened, we "didn't need no steenkin Flashback Arrestors"!
my TV is switching to some incredibly annoying and excessively stoopeed advertizing every few minutes. I guess it is time for the 50g solution.Nah, that is now the norm, worldwide. A few years ago, I didn't mind the adverts because plenty of them contained some form of humour, these days humour has sucked out of them altogether
Then the 35 other scopes is just for fun
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
As far as needs go, I could probably get away with a 20MHz Hameg and solve all remaining problems with initiative
Actually some times I'm tempted to do that just to be difficult
As far as needs go... we don't need a lab at all, to begin with ! 99.99999999999% of people don't have one and are perfectly happy in life !
Don't know about the UK, but these old Hameg scopes are plentiful here (I guess due to the geographical proximity with Germany), our local site leboncoiun.fr is flooded with them at all times. Nobody wants them. I have one, It's a 60MHz version, incredible... for many years it was my best and only scope.... my dad gave it to me, when he retired it from his work place.
These days I only use it when I am doing something a bit sketchy and fear I might blow up the scope and don't want to risk my other scopes
It's all discrete off the shelf components I think, so cheap and easy to fix if it blows. Plus it has a component tester, and the attenuators go up to 20V / DIV versus only 5V / DIV for most other scopes I have.
That said it's got its weak points as well... a few years ago a plastic shaft coupler inside, broke/cracked (sweep delay control IIRC) and now IIRC also, the vertical position control on channel one is kaput. mechanical problem again..
But the troublesome part is not easily accessible, it's stuffed deep down a hole IIRC, between two metal plates. Can't reach it easily, so... not using it any more.
I would get rid of it to make space (if just because it's ugly AF), but I can't .... it's a gift, it's sacred. Plus the memories associated with it. When the old man claps out I will be glad to have it as a souvenir.
So.... I think one day I will move my butt and fix the thing.
Suddenly some TE has shown up on my local CL.

The plug-in's appear to be in excellent shape but his price is wishful thinking. But I am thinking of asking him if he would price the 7B92A and the TM equipment rack separately.
And for you hp fan boys.....

Appears to be in good shape and I think that price is reasonable. But no real interest from me. Pat, Putnam Valley is in Putnam County just above Westchester. Not really all that far from you. Might be worth an inquiry?
Another one. But first pass appears to be a bunch of junk. And wants $400 USD for the tube caddy

That is at least somewhat tempting, but I really need to stop bringing heavy strays home! (We all know I won’t, of course, but I should.)
Thanks for the tip, I’ll keep it in mind as a possibility.

I'll bet if the seller threw in a couple of furry kittens you'd be there yesterday.
I need to stop bringing those home, too! The current seven seem to be a good number…

Adverts are locale specific. HP for DAT tape backup: US showed (pretty) man doing a Munch The Scream impersonation, whereas the European ads showed a baby sleeping peacefully. In north Europe washing powders are "blue white" whereas in south Europe they are "yellow white".
More importantly, hasn't decades of experience allowed you to "tune out" the ads? While photons and phonons may stimulate my brain, nowadays my brain's "entry filters" are well optimised to avoid me perceiving them.
Be afraid.....tautech has wielded the soldering iron today and made a VNA SMD test fixture inspired by Chris Grossman's video testing components with his SVA1015X.
As I had plenty of SMA>PCB fittings, veroboard and some SIL turned pin sockets I made it a little different to his so to do without one SMD cable and it swept S21 ~7dB high in places and nulled out just fine with a Through Cal.
The furthermost right turned pin is the coax center conductor while all those to the left are connected to the braid and a # are used so to be able to match most components you might like to sweep.
Not played with it much just yet as need to dig out a few more caps and crystals and although we do have a pile of pretty cool toys I'm pretty green at this.
Interested to see what happens when you poke a crystal in it
I’d love to see an S21 sweep of a crystal with 1Hz span.
