I think they tried to use Uncle Bumblefuck's box opener...Or perhaps the embiggener. * mnem*hiding out from THE SUCK* *I know for quite a while his favored box opener was a cordless mini chainsaw... but damned if I can find one of those vids right now. It's like the fucking YT search engine KNOWS what I want, and deliberately feeds me everything BUT that.
I thought that ad was for the Triumph TR-7... (Attachment Link) Confidence in the stunt relied on the belief that the British Army regularly parachuted vehicles. Only later was it admitted that nobody actually knew if the British Army had ever dropped a vehicle successfully.EDIT: No, wait... it was MGB. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2018/12/04/mgb-8000-foot-plunge-for-tvmnem
Yeah, but that was deliberate vandalism and the culprit was court-martialed and found guilty. https://www.stripes.com/news/sergeant-who-sent-3-humvees-plummeting-from-plane-found-guilty-1.526073 (Attachment Link) I found it much more amusing that the MBG ad guys figured it all from scratch, and successful in only 2 takes. I would SO love to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation where they pitched "Take 2"... mnem

Maybe this one with the DySuck, opened with the Bosch chainsaw;https://youtu.be/NPTzNJMd19AI EOL'ed an older one last week, had to resort to using a crowbar to get it open due to lack of long Torx drivers.

Wouldja lookit this Ridley Scott ALIEN abortion... I suddenly feel insecure! What in the Holy Toast even is this; looks like a kid from the 50's got aholda some Japanese space station designs...
So true. Talking of which, random turn up for the night. After arguing with a problem this evening I discovered the trigger on my 20MHz Hameg is less shit than the trigger on the Rigol at low speeds Literally the bastard thing will not trigger on sub-1Hz signals properly. The trigger point glitches all over the fucking place.
Hahaha. I've got the 475 still here. That's just as much of a bastard unfortunately as the trigger drifts as it's warming up. The 465B trigger was much much better than the 465 and 475 were.Philips and Hameg both trigger reliably without any fannying around or warm up Edit: it's really embarrassing that an ass end 20MHz scope with bare minimum features is actually ranking high on the "just works" list

More gear until this one.HTB did not even attend. And I did not see the NGSM power supply, as I would have bought it right away.That calibrator? When this ex-yugoslavian Grossschlawiner puts such a device out for this price - RUN!Well, I snagged a bagful of what you call 'RF voodoo' (circulators, directional couplers etc) and a handful of exotic adaptors.I don't have any comparison since this was my first "UKW Tagung". But I must admit, I was a little bit disappointed.I considered buying that Fluke 5100B but then I get away from that. I did not really trust its shape and I did nottrust that seller. You know him? And his reputation?

Me too. Albeit not Lindstroms. I bet you actually put them back though.

I’ve learned that when you have “better” equipment you end up with more expensive problems to solve

Used my 203-7 many years and I liked it. Imho the Hamegs are often underestimated scopes.
There is a nice looking one for EUR 79.- in .de, ships worldwide (including UK )https://www.ebay.com/itm/223635588087
