I'd love an 8060. May grab one for the growing "collection" when one makes an appearance. I'm going for bench Flukes next as I only have one bench meter. My wife actually walked up to my "corner" of the living room, counted the 6 meters and then saw the 5 on the watch list (we share an ebay account) and said her usual phrase "you're collecting things again!"...
Has she seen this thread? ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif)
Not yet. She would die if she did.

Well at least its just handheld multi meters. Just wait until you start collecting 25kg boatahcnors that don't even work but you manage to fix them most of the time and its so satisfying you buy even more broken heavy crap.
I'm heading in that direction. I've got two limping Tek 465B's and the remains of a Tek 465B in the hall under a pile of broken Heathkit stuff from the 1970s in the "fix queue". Heathkit stuff usually goes for nothing if it's broken, the manuals are pretty easy to get hold of as are the parts or equivalents, and they sell for a fortune on ebay again afterwards. Problem is I "forget" to sell them

Today's task is getting the sweep working again on my HP3312A which I actually NEED for something. Glorious bit of kit. The inside looks like it was designed by a rich Indian family or a pimp:

Problem with HP kit is when you get some, you think to yourself hmm I really like that. Perhaps I should sell everything and buy HP kit. Then you find a nice old HP 6236B or something (I'm waiting for one of these). Now you have one more problem!
