Yes they do 

I should add it onto my list of Fusion 360 / 3D printing projects for those without feet and maybe even make a set to clip onto the more modern HP gear feet to keep them in place on the older gear. To many projects 

The defpom has designed modern HP clip in feet here for anyone interested https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2910480

I may get probation for this but here it goes....

Look what bd got for Christmas!  They messed up the order a bit but I think it can be reprogrammed.

She isn't an ASCII figure so shouldn't be an issue

Send it back, maintenance and acessory costs for that model are a killer, the base price is low, but you need monthly addons, repairs and accessories, plus annual upgrades. Can also later come with child processes, that are a time and money sink for decades.

Wow, I wonder if the washing machine is similar and where do I place my order and of course can I return it after Christmas before it turns into a homewrecker

The TinkerDwagon is awake, as is the daughter. We're trying to wait patently for brother... okay, I'm trying; she wants to run in there and jump on his head.

*creaking door*

"Bruvver! Bruvver! UP UP UP!!!"

It's about time.  For years, it's been him doing that to HER.   


Merry Christmas, all you freaks!

Christmas is the time of year when people treat each other like they should all the time.

And others just drop devasting bombshells, especially if British soaps are to be believed [emoji6]

It's good to normalize things for the children, but it's also good to realize that they will inevitably pick up on tensions floating around. Leaving them in the dark may just add to the confusion and stress, so an explanation may be warranted. Accepting that "doing it for the kids" isn't always productive may also be a good idea.

Some Christmas Day TEA incoming!  Anyone familiar with HP 5006A signature analyzers? I recently picked one up. It's missing one half of the cover on the probe as well as a few accessories (including the HP feet things), other than that it's fine as far as I can tell.

[pelule]

The probe seems just missing the cover.
Here some links which may help:
https://www.keysight.com/en/pd-1000001381%3Aepsg%3Apro-pn-5006A/signature-analyzer?cc=DE&lc=ger

It should possible to test the tool with itself. ave a look to the manual at chapter 4 (page 58)...

I have myself the HP 5005B Signature Multimeter which offers additional features (DVM...)

Missing feet? Usually normal, however, last month I got an hp 8904A and it came with all the feet. I was in a state of shock.

Boxing Day Pre Sale. Anyone interested in a Cambridge Decade Resistance and Capacitance Box 'surplus' to requirements  ? No replies or PM's and they are off to the bay of evil later in the week. Both parceled up about 5kg and happy to ship.
SOLD
Photo Porn to tempt the weak or those who haven't killed their plastic totally and just because for the rest of you ......

[Brumby]

Oh, I'd be tempted to mount these switches back to front.  They are just beautiful to look at...

[beanflying]

I think the Resistance Box has even more bling 

[0culus]

Can you ship across the big pond to the US?

[beanflying]

I actually had an add half done here and decided not to. No worries at all about $62USD for the pair via air. to the USA or the UK based on the pair. I don't suffer 'shipping only to the lower 48 disease'   

Not that this is the for sale section but $140 USD for the pair or I will be pricing them up a chunk on evilbay. Sorry Mod squad  SOLD Bye Bye Bling

I would definitely be interested, as a resistor box and capacitor box are things I don't have! (but could definitely use)  It's very late here, so I'm going to toddle off to bed soon but I'll send you a PM. Paypal work for you?

Happy Boxing Day to everyone in the UK, Canada, Oz, and NZ. We don't celebrate that as an official holiday as you do but it is the traditional day when retailers have massive crowds with gift returns and after Christmas sales....which is essentially the same as you and also a day where I stay home. 

[Specmaster]

Most of the so called boxing day sales bargains are not what they seem at all.
