My name is Saskia and I have a habit.
It all started when I rediscovered Arcade and Pinball machines and found Louis Rossman's channel on youtube.
I started with that UT139C and an old Weller iron. After a while I decided that visiting the Reichelt store seemed to be a good idea. This is when I started rummaging through their returns pile that they put up heavily discounted.
Louis got me hooked on Hakko and Quick 861, and soon my first Agilent DMM made it into the stockpile (an old 1252a). Soon after an Agilent LCR popped up, followed by a Fluke 114 which I found at Reichelt, followed by yet another Agilent DMM, a couple of entry level oscilloscopes, and finally some boat anchor ...
Having secured that I am still trying to integrate this into my rather small workspace
and then it happened.
I got an invitation to a Keysight event and decided to attend. In the coffee break they asked me if I had any use for additional test equipment and I told them that I just got a quote from R&S regarding the RTC1002 and the RTB2004 and was wondering which one to buy. They said that they wanted to accomodate me and pulled some strings, which resulted in my buying this:
Aw gawd, I never thought such a device would have a 500 pages plus manual ...
Now I am waiting for my diff probe (thanks Dave for supporting my habit
which DHL failed to deliver.
Hrmpf. One more day of waiting before I can repair my husbands Volvo ...
Anyway. A stockpile of equipment and an even bigger stockpile of pinball machines to fix. Sigh.
I think I need a bigger flat ...
