I was delving into the NEETS navy course from the fine selection of reading material in this fine forum. It mentions their standard impedance bridge, the ESI 250DE, and it just so happens that I'd already put a bid on this puppy as being the most reasonable solution to obtaining an LCR meter for cheap. I love old stuff, and am a little.... special so you probably have to be me for this to seem reasonable. Also, I hadn't found the brilliant thread here about the LCR meter saga. That looks like it will end up being a truly worthwhile project for me to have a stab at.I'm a superstitious soul, it appears, and haven't even looked for the schematics and manuals yet, otherwise I'm sure to lose the auction, but be aware: If you have them already, please find them for I will be asking! Please also don't tell me, tho, due to the aforementioned jinxing.

Thanks, Vgkid! I really hope I win it now.

Very cool. Looks to be in great condition, too.
Well its very frightening

I ditched the Rigol scope. I just bought the replacement for the Rigol AWG today and will shift that when it arrives. Then buy an RF signal generator (with a calibrated attenuator).I do that all the time. I keep getting zeners and 1n4148's chucked in the sweepings tray. Solder one in and hmm, not powering up. Oh now wait that's because it's a 9v zener
Sheeeit... at least your government gives a damn about fakes. Over here, unless the fake is sold as a counterfeit of some product by a big corporation who has the influence to make a federal case, it's pretty much buyer beware. For EVERYTHING, even food.What do you expect from a government that sold a blanket exemption from the Clean Water Act to the Fracking industry? So how shocking is it to find that more than half the crops grown in California (our largest agricultural producer now) are irrigated with... you guessed it... fracking wastewater. Over here, a gun manufacturer can be sued for making an automatic weapon that backfires and burns the fuckwit who bought it, but not for "Authorized Distributors" who put them in the hands of whack jobs that go and shoot up a whole school full of kids. (18 such mass shootings THIS YEAR, BTW)Over here, if you have a car with a critical safety flaw that catches on fire and burns people alive, there's no liability for that car aside from what the survivors can sue out of the manufacturer. If it doesn't cost them more in lawsuits than it costs them to fix the problem, they'll keep right on producing firebombs labeled as 4-door sedans, and it's LEGAL.mnemPants are highly overrated.
Got asked if I want to go to a conference in US earlier. Think I will decline now Replying to the comment about micronta; nowt wrong with that. I’ve got me an analogue micronta on the way. Although the idiot sending it sent it to the wrong person so whether I’ll ever see it or not I don’t know. I have been assured that the person who received it is shipping it to me (yeah right)
Hahaha. Not sure I'll see it. I think it's in outer Bumblefuck. They're probably poking it with a stick to see if it blows up at the moment.My function generator is coming by UPS. That means it'll not get delivered and then turn up at the local "off license" which is a front for the local knocking shop. Not the sort of place you want to turn up at.
Yep. It has been shut down about 3 times in the last decade or so. They gave up after the last raid in 2009: https://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/news/local-news/isleworth-brothel-raided-undercover-cops-6002160Hate picking up stuff from there.
