From what i hear the thing has a pretty extensive self test that takes a long time to run in order to test the stability of various parts. If it passes that and shows a waveform then its a good. If one of the sampling modules is busted then spare ones are easy to come by for a reasonable price.

Definitely a good idea to hold on to one of these.

I have heard of widescreen being a thing with scopes these days...but don't think that's the right way to do it.

But im sure a bit of poking around in the vertical deflection circuitry can sort it out. Nice price for it.

Pfftt.. Have you checked the 11801C? None of that widescreen rubbish. Ultra-narrow-screen FTW!

@ Martin.M

Decent price if you were sure there was only the display problem, no bad surprises on inputs or acquisition stuff.
All the same considering sample rate and memory depth, this is the kind of scope I'd buy only to fix and play around with a few hours before reselling.

the repair was only 30 minutes.

That leaves you a little more play time

I followed the repair on the TEA thread, BD139 almost had it fixed before you bought it

Yep, what bd139 doesn't know about scopes isn't worth knowing, he's the man.

I got a case with 6 prehistoric Teledyne Philbrick op-amps (you understand immediately where the 'brick' comes in) and the circuit elements formerly used with them. Complete with the leaflet (i'll scan it later).
It must have been part of some educational breadboard or related.

Factually, I would have gladly spent the 30€ for the heap of Pomona double plugs with solder turrets on the side. Or for the 3 clean and 3 cleanable Pomona 2-pole cables. And that case might come handy too.
So now I can add ready-made combinations on 3/4"-spaced 4mm plugs to my kits (in addition to the 50R from Beanflying). For example a PTC like Fluke sold with the 025, or RCs, or antiparallel diodes....

A 5347A with lots of dead LCD segments, and a dead 2465.

Hitachi analog 20MHz oscilloscope, 20€.

beanflying · « **Reply #2286 on:** February 26, 2019, 02:26:05 am »

So I have splurged in the last week or so. Agilent 34461A, Fluke 335D neither of which were particular scores but are in great condition.

This is the score I had more or less given up on ever getting one of due to their normal second hand price. Sika Temperature Calibrator complete with different diameter wells. Delivered to my door will be circa $150USD

One very very broke but happy Bean.

An HPAK E3631A sold as parts only. Yes, it needed a rotary encoder... not so bad. The display was pretty good, but I decided to replace it anyway, and keep the old one as a spare. Lots of floppy pins to deal with on that. All on the cheap. Wanted one of these for a long time, but was unwilling to pay even $300 for one.

@ice-tea: what is the meaning of the blue tape? It affects a device which I would be interested in (depending on subtype and options).

The R&S kit without the screen, is that a cover, or an option for no-screen purely GPIB/LAN control?

Nothing or so it seems. Maybe an aide to help them sort different orders out or something. Some of these units are not ready (ie need service) others are fine and they all came with blue tape.

Carried it all up two flights of stairs. Including those HP8642B's that weigh over 30kg each.

GPIB control only

Allow me to correct myself here... The frontpanel buttons still work and make it pretty easy to control the unit. Just no display to tell you what you set it to

Interesting, how much are they worth without a screen?

*points to signature*

Just put one on the bay. Outside of eBay it's 10% less. If you can do a bank transfer iso Paypal, that's another 3%.

21% VAT is included, if you have a VAT ID that can be dropped as well.
