Sweet, is that an Alsatian then, look like one to me and they do grow at quite a rate.

It sounds like you need to step away from the keyboard.

One of those added 50% to the cost of my 8.5 digit DVM.That's also too pessimistic: they don't spontaneously disassociate, they wait for 30s after the equipment is turned on.

Quote from: Ero-Shan on June 26, 2019, 07:00:11 amThere's a rare beast on German eBay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/RIESIGER-2-Strahl-Oszi-Oszilloskop-Oscilloscope-Tektronix-556-RM/283519389520?hash=item4203128f50:g:1n4AAOSwNz1dB55NEven without plug-ins and in non-working condition, the machine is very tempting, especially at this price.But the image of Ero-shan going there by train to collect it and carrying it home makes me cringe. No way this is going to happen.Maybe one of the other Germans (with cars) is interested. The same seller offers an 585A (sans plug-in) also ..Doesn't just have to be Germans, I'm overdue for a trip to Düsseldorf and Dortmund is only just up the road. A drop of Dortmunder would make a change from (the nevertheless excellent) Düsseldorf Altbier. Alas, the date for my next trip hasn't yet been set.

It wasn’t even on. Just sitting there in the corner. Absolutely fine. Hmm what’s that funny smell? Don’t know. Close the window thinking it’s outside. Smell gets worse. Start sniffing around eventually leading to the corner of the living room. Nothing powered up. Can’t be that. So I put my hand on the scope and it’s red hot. Dive on the socket to turn it off and crack it open. Thick smoke comes out. Fortunately the scope was mostly saved because the butt half of it is separate and all the action happened behind a thick sheet of FR4 they install offer the hot side of the power supply. They also turn up in other things. From experience Kenwood mixers, Henry hoovers, Miele stuff, older Philips televisions.
Most of the ones I’ve seen appear before the switch. Of course Schaffer get their dirty fingers in there too with the RIFA hand grenades.
You can clearly see the Shepherd in her, please don't dock her tail will you? Even with her being part Boxer, I still think it's so cruel. It's bad enough if something happens, like my cat did when a dog chewed her tail, she had to lose it to save her life. [emoji190]
