SOLD  (UK) HP 3458a. Refurbished + current Keysight calibration to Sept. 2018 - Page 1

timestamp: January 20, 2018, 08:07:10 pm
content: I have decided to sell my HP 3458A 8.5 digit DMM. In 2017 it was refurbished by me as follows:- All Dallas NVRAMs replaced in good quality sockets.- New front panel & window. (originals were scratched & damaged)- New front input socket assembly (the old sockets were damaged)All parts bought from Keysight UK at great expense.The LTZ1000A operating temperature has been reduced as discussed on the XDEVs website. It was then tested for 2 weeks to check stability after my own pre-calibration. In September I returned it to Keysight for a proper calibration. As part of this offer, Keysight also offered a 12 month warranty plus the option to put it on a service contract. I assume that the warranty is NOT transferable but this should be checked with Keysight.I am happy to send pictures and the calibration data to anyone interested in buying this DMM. I plan to offer it on eBay as well but am offering it here first.Price: £3495Phil

content: I have had a few queries about drift issues with the A3 board. As the 3458A is covered by a Keysight warranty -- which is transferable -- any issues with the A3 board are covered by the warranty. I have this in writing from Keysight. You will have until the end of the warranty to find any problems that I am unaware of & get Keysight to resolve them.Also asked why I am selling this. Answer is simple. It is too complex for my current & future needs. I got this from an estate disposal & chose the instrument that was faulty. My main interest was in getting it working & then properly calibrated. I had ideas about a home cal. lab. but I prefer retirement to any sort of commercial enterprise. Sad but true.Of course if you have more questions then I will try to answer them.Phil

timestamp: January 20, 2018, 09:25:00 pm
content: I'm selling this HP54503A 4 Channel 500MHz digitizing oscilloscope. I've repaired it and the repair consisted of replacing the calibration NVRAM chip. This chip is a battery-backed RAM chip for storing calibration data and the battery inside had simply died. Replacing the chip has returned the unit to fully working condition. It was recalibrated using the self-calibration procedures on the unit. All channels work without issue. Calibration seal stickers are broken because the unit was opened for repairs. CRT has no burn-in whatsoever! Fully passes self-test procedures.Selling for$400USD$350USD OBO plus shipping. I'll be very open to offers, so feel free to offer and we can discuss the price! If you're located near Platteville, Wisconsin then local pickup could be arranged as well.

content: After more research I found that 33322-60011 is the only attenuator that attenuates up to 130dB using 10, 20, 30, and 60 dB sections. So using any other attenuator would result in discontinuities when sweeping the signal amplitude since the attenuation that the 8648C tries to select wouldn't match what the mismatched attenuator gives.With that in mind I successfully repaired my 33322-60011 thanks to a series of small miracles. For those Googling, the problems with the attenuator were:Contact fingers not mating well with the bypass pads / attenuator padsSolution: clean pad mating surfaces with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol until a good connection is observed with an ohmmeter. Plunger o-rings missing / deterioratedSolution: ideally buy new o-rings, but being impatient I used a small amount of hot glue to secure the plungers with bad o-rings to their respective metal plates. Totally amateur but it worked. Solenoid wire was severedSolution: re-solder the very fine green wire back to its respective post Take a look at page 9 of this PDF showing attenuator internals. Note the gold flaps between each bypass surface, and how the ends of the gold flaps make contact with the bypass pad:http://ve2azx.net/technical/HP_StepAttenuatorRepair.pdf This video goes into detail regarding the o-rings:

You could build something like this (http://www.pmillett.com/ATEST.htm) to have some protection between the soundcard and the pc, but in my opinion that is not really necesarry.For really really low distortion measurements you could build this one:http://www.cordellaudio.com/instrumentation/distortion_magnifier.shtml

I'm not affiliated with these auctions... just seeking some advice on which one of these to choose. I checked the rules before posting this and hope this is a reasonable fit.. if not, this can be moved/deleted.#1 -https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Agilent-Keysight-34401A-DIGITAL-MULTIMETER-Calibrated/202183631248The seller has raised their price, but I have an outstanding "offer" I can accept at $390 + $20 shipping. This one appears to be in reasonable shape, dim display (lighting?), no accessories, and "calibrated".#2 -https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Agilent-34401A-Digital-Multimeter-6-Digit-Tested-Spot-on-Very-clean/323001144622Agilent branded, so slightly newer, appears to be in great physical condition, tested with lower quality gear according to the pictures, but seems to be ok, comes with some accessories of some quality. Seller is more clear in the description, which is good. Seller doesn't appear to be willing to negotiate, so it's about $100 more than #1 when shipped....#3 -https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Agilent-34401A-Digital-Multimeter-6-Digit-Tested-Spot-on-Very-clean/322999326029Same seller as #2, HP branded. Similar condition as #2... slightly lower price point but still ~$80 more than #1.#4 -https://www.ebay.com/itm/Keithley-2015-6-1-2-Digit-THD-Multimeter-DMM-Tested-/253369704119Keithley 2015 - Appears to be in reasonable condition.. definitely more expensive than the others, benefit of a potential local pickup.... for a first "quality" DMM, I'm leaning towards #1, although the cleanness of #2/3 is appealing... and the keithley is a wildcard.Thoughts on what is the best choice to add to the bench?Thank you for any advice.Jason

content: I personally have a soft spot for the 2015, mainly because it has a very nice and clean signal generator integrated into it for Audio distortion measurements. The possibility of local pickup is also a bonus given you can always evaluate the unit at the moment and re-negotiate if there is anything out of the order.Otherwise, the 34401A is quite a decent meter as well - only watch out for faded out VFD displays (the "calibrated one" seems to have the worst of the bunch).IMHO you can't go wrong with any one of these units.

content: There are two takes on audio: if you need to inspect fidelity, a high quality PC sound card will beat any digital oscilloscope due to the much increased resolution (24 bits versus 8 bits typical for standalone oscilloscopes). For error or harmonics troubleshooting, the higher bandwidth will be useful.If you are looking for a Digital Oscilloscope in a very small budget, an older Rigol DS1052E is a good entry point and may fit your pocket.

content: I'm going to edit the OP, specifying that I want to do eurorack modular synth stuff. As far as I understand, the power supplies for that are 12V. As for the fidelity, I do have a 192khz 24bit 4in soundcard to inspect the final output.Feel free to keep the advice coming; I'm just now learning the basics, so you might make me avoid buying mistakes!
