Used Fluke DP120 20MHz HV differential probe, complete with all accessorizes and even with it's original box, $45, too expensive ?

Need ? You can't live without one ...

Yeah, those MicSig ones have been looking funny at me too. I think I prefer something more reputable, though.

May be I will try to bargain abit more, wish me luck.

If they're genuine and they come with warranty... Hmmmm. Well, a quick visit to TEquipment reveals that original list back in the day was ~US$647. That said... so was an Ipwn 3S, now look what it's worth.

Alien anal probes?!? Where do I sign up?!?

If they're genuine and not abused, I'd buy them for $45, no problem. The attenuators (20X/200X) aren't too high for general bench use, either. That's the only thing that I'm not crazy about with the MicSig (50X/500X). Dave's Sapphire probes are 10X/100X, which is quite nice for general use, but quite a bit more expensive.

Consider this: Probing live circuits with your scope with the same flexibility and peace of mind as with a quality DMM. I still find it odd that most scopes don't have differential operation by default.

You mean 56km

My car speedo is in miles so are the route signs on the roads so for me its miles still  on the plus side however, my car also displays the speed in km's as a small digital readout so you can take your pick which you use.

I prefer wheels. 
1 KM = .62 Miles
1 KM = .54 Wheels

If anybody gets the reference i salute you.

So I toddled off to evilbay to look at Differential probes available and I brought this UNI-T clamp meter for far to little (I am sorry world)

eBay auction: #https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/UNI-T-UT210E-Digital-Clamp-Meter-Multimeter-Handheld-RMS-AC-DC-Mini-Resistanc/112896583684?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

[bitseeker]

That's too cheap. Hmm, I don't see any active listings for that seller and almost all 434 completed listings occurred on March 8 within a span of 10 minutes. Very peculiar.

[Specmaster]

Even more concerning, the listing has been removed from Ebay, sorry Bean but it looks highly like a evilbay con to me, get you claim in quick for a refund.

[bitseeker]

It may be a geo filter thing. If I appear to be in Australia when visiting the .au site, then I do see current listings and 500+ sold, but they're still in peculiarly large batches.

[Specmaster]

well, this is what I get when clicking on your link.

[beanflying]

Yep dodgy. Money will come back via paypal/evilbay no doubt. I really want a low current clamp meter and the cruddy uni-t is actually one of the best for this 

edit nope they are gone

[Specmaster]

Yep, I agree dodgy, just got the listing up and checked the feedbacks, 4 negative and 4 neutral in the last month and the seller has had 3 identities since April 2017 and all feedbacks are the same regardless whether you click on seller or buyer etc and all are listed as private?

Maybe the listing in Aus is just about to be taken down as well?

[beanflying]

Interesting the item via ebay.com.au is still available??

While NOT buying Uni-T crud my uv ex scanner pcb box is going along.

Aussie seller was it ? 

I've heard they're a dodgy bunch ! 

[beanflying]

Heck on this day anything is possible

Tangentially TEA related. Well I got woken up by a car alarm going off at 05:30. someone else resolved this with a brick after 40 minutes plus some shouting and then the arrival of a police car. Then at 8:00 on the dot the Jehovas Witnesses recruitment corps which triggered me into a furious rant about their pedo doomsday cult and suggesting that I roll up the watch tower and smoke it because it’ll be better for my general health than the words in it.  Now I’ve got to go out and find some meat because all the bloody shops are shut because someone wrote in a book 2000 odd years ago that some dude that pissed off the Romans magically came alive again. The marketoids somehow managed to relate this to chocolate eggs which means the kids are going to be sick later.

So the TEA link. There’s bugger all that appears this Sunday on eBay ever. Grr. Because people have better things to do apparently. How dare they. Plus deliveries are whacked for the next couple of days which means I can’t complete anything I have on the go

Perhaps I should try and clean the vertical pots on my 465...

PS : Curious, made in Holland ?

Had a visit from the JW's 2 weeks ago lucky I was 30M away in the shack or I might have invited them in for coffee and special muffins 

Interesting pagan history about 'Easter/Spring' time for the Northerners but as a Southerner happy to receive several slabs of Dark Chocolate Bunny and Eggy goodness this morning

Yeah, so ?
Philips/Fluke or Fluke/Philips ? 

[BravoV]

You're right, forgot about Fluke Philips collaboration.
