Here are two of this weeks purchases, a pair of HP 3490A Multimeters (first I've seen on ePay UK for a long time), as expected neither are working, one only displays zeros and the other does pass the first self test (logic test) but not much else works.

Also never realized these have a lot of case parts made from cheese, the top & bottom of the front panel are falling apart, as are the brackets inside that hold the internal chassis (lot of bits rattling around inside the bottom one), I bet Keyshite don't have replacements for those.

On the plus side they both have a full set of feet.

Also arrived this week is a HP 5340A, still waiting for an unusual 4 digit Erie counter that uses some odd triodes & dekatrons inside.

P.S. Finally remembered to escalate the smashed
number readout bulbs™ from China on ePay, they refunded very quickly, the seller kept wasting my time repeating "would a partial or 50% refund be OK?" no thanks.
