I am in Vietnam, last week there is a store in Hanoi selling and liquidating some Keysight devices, all of them are on display in the store, almost new, with full accessories. Some things are very good prices compared to buying completely new, there is a Keysight 34461A multimeter version without GIPB for about 17,300,000 VND converted to USD about 721USD, this price is very good because the machine is almost new, full of accessories , and sold very quickly after that. The 34461A version with GIPB has a calibration certificate in May 2023, obviously a few months old product, priced at about 23,100,000 VND (~963 USD). See the store's reference price list image, in the 4th column is the selling price (VND), you can convert to USD by dividing by 24,000 (exchange rate), price includes tax of about 10%. |

It's well above my budget anyways, thanks though. |

Here in US at Hamfests, I think some test equipment is actually less expensive than in the past.I recently saw a working Tektronics 475 for $50 at a Hamfest, it did not sell and was at the next Hamfesr, I did not buy it because I already have one. Of course, this is old stuff and at the current prices of Rigol scopes (et Al) maybe not as valuable as before. |

with the more recent ones with a failing spear 3 mcu, i would touch them, its absurd that keysight did not adress this properly, they know this mcu may or will fail i would thrust more an 34411a or 34410a than some of the 61 65 series my 2 cents an oldie is a goodie |

I made an offer of $140 on a possibly broken unit on fleabay and seller accepted it, so $330AUD at the end. I suspect it's got a faulty display module or related circuitry, so it will need to fixing. I'll post the photos and my progress when I get the unit. Hopefully not an expensive repair :P I'll keep an eye out for 34410a on ebay or here, but it looks like I may need to be patient and wait a while. Thanks everyone. PS: one that irks me that HP hasn't or doesn't want to release the firmware source for a 30yr old unit. It would've made it more serviceable / upgradeable for hobbyists and got them some extra brownie points. |
