I got another hit from my CL WTB ad, a local ham saying he had a couple of TM plugins and frames he wanted to sell.
When I met him today, he told me he decided to bring some other stuff, too. After going through the pile, I bought a TM502A, TM503A, three plugins, (a couple of power supplies and a DMM), two 8116As, a 6115A, and a P6046 probe, power supply, and amplifier in the original case. The previous owner claims the P6046, 6115A and TM stuff all work, and said the 8116As "mostly worked", a position he retreated from when I mentioned error codes and custom HP ASICs.
The whole lot cost me 110USD. So, am I an
idjit, easily parted from my money? Probably, yes, even though I am expecting a 100 percent failure rate on the 8116As, the 6115, and the plugins and there's a fifty-fifty chance that the probe is junk.
But I look at it this way... I bought two 8116A lottery tickets and got four or five of the scratch off kind for free.
