Help me, I'm addicted...

If you haven't already you will grow to love your Smart Tweezers and wish to never be without them.
Had a set for 10 yrs and it's one of the must have bits of kit, even for TH work.

Enjoy.

found myself on Ebay an AGILENT E3633A, waiting for delivery

I got my Rigol DS1054Z today, and already used the online keygen, for the additional bandwidth, seems like a really nice little scope, with 4 channels. And so much faster to set up than the PC based scope I'm used to at work(automotive).
I also got a free Uni-T DMM with the Rigol, a small handy model, perfect for car fuse checking and such things.
And ordered some bnc to banana adapters, so I can use the original break out cables with my scope, and a hand full of BNC end plugs, to protect the unused ports from dirt.

Where did you get that bundle and for how much? Hope it is an online store

I've bought this one yesterday. Not a really good shape, but not broken!
And with 2 cards...

It's from here https://www.rigol-uk.co.uk/
The adapters and such are from aliexpress.

Sorry about my ignorance, but what is this?

[artag]

I think it's a generated (rendered) key

Possibly also useful for pushing toothpaste out by winding the tube into a coil.

That free DMM doesn't appear on the store  Did they sent to you the gift without mentioning it on the store?

It sure does, remember to use their desktop version og the site. And look at the left buttom corner. Free DMM, it says its only for UK ordets, i got one anyways, and a UK power plug, and the EU one.

Oh I missed that  I'll check this out to see what's better: buy there or on the Batronix store.

I finally had enough of the cheap eBay LED magnifier lamp I'm using for my teardown and repair bench. So today I took advantage to Zoro's 20% off sale today to buy a Luxo 5 diopter LED magnifier and a 4 diopter Luxo Stays add on lens. Also picked up a 1.2 mm chisel tip for my Hakko fx-951 as well.

Now I've got to wait for it all to arrive

[Nerull]

Not a purchase, but found one of these in a free stuff bin in the EE department at uni:


Seems to be intact and the resistors look in perfect condition, though I haven't had a chance to test it yet. 40kV version.

[canibalimao]

I have finally got a Rigol DS1054Z. I will also get a Free Uni-T pocket multimeter. Now let's see how long does it take to arrive.

Fluke 45 to repair for $80.00 USD - might even happen to work. Seems like a fun weekend project.

A set of Pomona 6341 test leads. These are the exact same model as the Fluke TL910, just a lot cheaper

Added to shopping list ... Have quite a few Pomona leads and they're awesome. 4mm<->meat hook leads are recommended. Tend to use them more than probes now.

This is the cheapest I've found so far: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POMONA-6341-Fluke-TL910-ELECTRONIC-PROBE-SET-WITH-5-REPLACEMENT-TIPS-/221948928316?hash=item33ad2fe13c
Don't bother making an offer. He turned down a 23 quid offer, so he really isn't selling them for less than 25.

FWIW, you'd do better to go for Probemaster 815x spring loaded probes instead (they ship internationally), as they're better made and will last longer.

I say this, as the Fluke/Pomona spring loaded (pogo) probes have a bad habit of the wire breaking inside the insulation where they exit the probe body (no strain relief). Fair number of complaints about their build quality/reliability if you search the forum.
