Bought a scope. Telequipment D755 which is government issue D75 which is smaller D83. Appears to be working. Time will tell

Does anyone have a thought about why would one prefer the 2001 over the 7510?

One of the justifications I give to my self for buying something I do not need is that with a 7.5 digit multimeter I can calibrate all my other multimeters.

Now, for old school analog and digital hardware, the product cycles are long enough (much like TE) that this model works, but once they put a general purpose operating system (usually a Linux kernel that's old a year before first shipment) inside their device and network them, and they still are same ten people in a shed, they are going to build nicely looking boxes that sometimes do very strange things to your system, because testing is lacking. And bug fixes take ages. And they invariably ship too early for their own good (to meet contract deadlines), so you'll be requesting missing basic features over and over again that just not are going to come because there's one or two people doing the software. In one case they were two. One was smart and the other one a poser. The smart one left.

While it is true this horror-show cannot be unseen, it does appear as if the guilty party did in this case attempt to at least use existing screws and holes such that the abomination could be undone. The other-horror-which-shall-not-be-named was brute-force chainsaw-brain-surgery with no remorse whatsoever... and worse, the culprit had a suitable replacement motor on hand and didn't even know it. The shameless/horror/irony sandwich that booty-fab represents does raise it to at least horror2 status, IMO...Don't worry med... your crown as The Booty-Fab King remains solidly intact. mnem

This was an after this D755. She was involved in D83/DM64 I think from memory. Did write it all down somewhere but can’t find it now

Did write it all down somewhere but can’t find it now I have a working DM63 (plus manuals and extender card) which I ought to sell. It has two characteristics to baffle youngsters:two beams (and three channels)analogue storageI'm a little wary of shipping it since I don't like how its heavy transformer is attached to the frame.

I could get access, but it would be a seriously career-limiting move to even touch it.... The lack of a PPL might be another dis-incentive as well. Would you want to come along on a ride like that?The location in the auction is not the usual government depot, but a DND site. Funny that you mention a boat, since I would assume the DND site is a naval yard. Do you think they would allow us to show up there in your boat? So, how big is your boat anyway. Maybe I could trailer it as far east as possible through the eastern townships of QC and then we navigate around NB. That might cut down the travel time?I have this sinking feeling (oops, just realized the bad pun there, since we are talking about the Atlantic in winter) that someone who lives in NS or PEI is going to get a jammy-git award.
I’m trying to keep my test gear purchase roughly to: “british_made || fluke” at the moment to minimise parts availability risk which seems to be a big problem now our borders are buggered thoroughly
