So I've just started collecting. However saying I have a space constraint is an understatement, I have my collection and workbench in my bedroom. However my way to deal with the lack of space is to collect small and cute test equipment .

Not shown is my workbench, only things off interest are power designes 4010 that I couldn't say no to, and a dso 2014 as my daily driver scope.
Welcome to our menagerie of misfits. Nice collection of miniature stuff. Hang around here and we'll have to buying bigger stuff in no time.
I'm curious about the NLS scope. Useful or a toy or a total POS?
I got the NLS mainly as a toy, I was keeping an eye out for a daily driver and this popped up for 30 and was too cute to pass up.
I can see it being useful for specific situations, as it's light and very portable, but the 1" crt is fairly small to read, however the fact that it goes to 50v a div means it's less of a toy then a lot of the modern pocket scopes.
Using the switches for the time base and the vertical gain is a bit different, but allows nice control in a compact design.
It was the first scope I got and it did help me repair all the other on the shelf, since I got my daily driver after fixing up the others
Well I've been trying to hold off on getting things much larger, but I do realize it's only a mater of time. Don't have much room in my bedroom, between that, my workbench and the mini lathe a mill I also have
hey alex,
323 is cool. Build 1967, I have also one here
214 storage, nice. Most problem with them is demolition of parts and boards by the acid soup of dead batteries, no fund to restorate them.
The storage is some dark, but useful. 200 series is always expensive. I need a 211 to be complete.
When we become old + ugly, there is a Tek208 useful !

Yeah I love the 323 display.
I was lucky with the 214 and the others, I got to them before the batteries caused too much of an issue, so I was able to just replace them after a bit of cleaning to the pcb. I have gotten all of them in the picture working.
Unfortunately the switches in the storage display bored on the 214 broke. Since I couldn't find a replacement board I ended up opening up the switches and was able to repair it a bit, but something is still broken in it.
